Straight Democratic Party Voting - More Than One Box


by: sonia

Fri Sep 29, 2006 at 11:37 PM CDT

Phillip's ed. note: I think this is a good idea that is very, very, very poorly written. PLEASE VOTE STRAIGHT TICKET, and if you happen to live somewhere with a special election, take note. I'd imagine that if you are reading this blog, you'll be active enough to know there's a special election -- but please, please, please, vote straight ticket Democrat! Vote early, and vote often!

Straight Democratic Party Voting this November election - don't do it.  It's a trap. (Phillip's ed. note: no it's not.)

For a good Democrat to tell other good Democrats not to vote a straight party ticket sounds insane. Especially this year when we have such a great slate of candidates. I mean it though, and Lloyd Doggett and John Courage will tell you the same thing this time around. 

This Nov. 7th election is special. So special in fact, that it's really two separate elections if you live in any of these Congressional Districts 15, 21, 23, 25 or 28.  These are the five US Congressional Districts that just got re-re-re-districted.  The Congressional races on Nov. 7th in those districts are like open primary races.  At least two of these races have more than five candidates running (CD21 & CD23).  If no candidate wins their open primary race with more than 50% of the vote, a runoff of the top two vote getters will occur probably in December.

Final List of Re-Re-Districting Candidates


by: Matt Glazer

Fri Aug 25, 2006 at 06:09 PM CDT

Quorum Report has the final list of candidates in each of the re-re-districted seats.

Interestingly, Albert Uresti (future state senator Carlos Uresti's brother) filed in CD-23 against Rodriguez, Bolanos, and Bonillia.

CD-21 ended up fielding a lot more candidates than originally expected including 3 independents, 1 and a half democrats, 1 republican, a libertarian, and the Treaty Oak.

The only person getting a free ride this go around is Rubén Hinojosa the Congressman in CD-15.

The complete list is below the fold.
