That's what Perry told the Chronk:
AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry said today that he will not call an election to fill the congressional seat to be vacated by U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay before November if DeLay doesn't resign by Friday.
"The legal issue of when does that seat become vacant is when I get that (resignation) letter, and as far as I know I don't have a letter,'' Perry said.
"If I don't get it by close of business tomorrow, the election will be in November.'' Chronk sez that means two votes on the same day - unexpired term and new term.
So what does this mean, election wizards? What's the Rethug game plan here?
