Texas Bill to Postpone 2022 Primary

Texas Representative Phil King (R-Weatherford) has introduced HB 1848, which would change the date of the 2022 primary, in case census data needed for redistricting is too late for the state to hold its normal March primary.

The bill lets the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and House Speaker jointly set the date. They could choose a primary date as late as July 1, 2022.

Moving the 2022 primary to a later date would have big consequences for ballot access petitioning in 2022. Petitions for independent candidates and new parties can’t begin until after the primary.

Texas Bill to Postpone 2022 Primary — 22 Comments

  1. Parker is name of the county. Weatherford is the name of the city. I lived there from 1978 to 2000.

  2. 2022 primary may be the only REAL *competitive* election in 2022-2030 for partisan legis offices

    — due to TOTAL gerrymanders – instantly after 2020 junk census stats are done.

  3. I wasn’t a Satanist then, just an Atheist. I first read the Satanic Bible in 2010. I was formally accepted as a member of the Church of Satan in 2013.

    I left Weatherford to move to Medford, Oregon. My brother was dying and I moved to help my mother as she was dealing with the deterioration of my brother’s health.

  4. Fact Checker: As Peter Gilmore the High Priest of the Church of Satan has said, “Satanism is a subset of Atheism”.

    If someone believes that Satan is a real person or entity then that person is not allowed to join the Church of Satan. If a Satanist comes to believe that Satan is a real person or entity then that person is expelled from the Church of Satan.

    Fact Checker I strongly suggest that you read the Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey and the Satanic Scriptures by Peter Gilmore to understand what Satanism is and is not.

  5. There are different Satanist groups. Some of them do believe Satan is a real entity while others don’t.

  6. Checking Facts: Those who believe Satan is real are not Satanists, they are Christian heretics. They accept the Christian world view and have chosen the other guy. Satanism began with Anton LaVey when he started the Church of Satan in 1966. Any group other than the Church of Satan founded by Anton LaVey are not Satanists.

  7. Lil Nas X is using the popular iconography of Satanism as a marketing tool for his music instead of actually being a Satanist. It is similar to the Heavy Metal groups like Black Sabbath or Slayer. Satan is used by them as a way to sell records and has no other meaning for them.

  8. Fact Checker: Satanists do not use the blood of humans or animals in anyway, shape, or form in ritual or other activity.

  9. Checking Facts: Thank you for posting the Wikipedia link. The article does not contradict anything that I have stated in my comments above.

  10. People should read the Wikipedia link for themselves to see if they agree with Robert.

  11. Most metal bands using satanic iconography aren’t serious, and lil nas x is probably not either, but King Diamond of Mercyful Fate and some Scandinavian black metal bands are/were serious about satanism.
