Texas Likely to Keep Primary in March

Today’s Houston Chronicle says the Texas legislature will almost certainly fail to pass HB 2017. That bill would move the primary for all office from March to February. It would also require new parties to notify the state that they intend to qualify in 2008, by October of 2007. Although that doesn’t harm parties that already exist, it violates the principle that the people should be free to form new parties in election years.
