Senator Joan Huffman (R-Houston) has introduced SB 13 into the second special session of the Texas legislature. It says that if redistricting is finished by November 15, 2021, the 2022 primary will be held March 1, which is the same date set by the existing law. If the redistricting is not done by November 15, 2021, but is done by December 28, then the primary will be April 5 and the run-off will be June 21. But if redistricting still isn’t done by December 28, then the primary will be May 24 and the run-off will be July 26. Thanks to Art DiBianca for this news.
How many coming super-gerrymander cases ???
Possible TOTAL chaos.
Voters Vote — NOT Census pops — esp counting foreign INVADERS
— aka *politically correct* illegal/undocumented immigrants.
The bill assumes that convention dates are set relative to the primary date.
Remember the fundamental rule with respect to non-Demo Rep parties. “Oh! We forgot about them!”
Elections for Congress, the legislature, and SBOE should be conducted as special elections as was done in 1996 and 2006.
SB 13 has passed the Senate.
So do I understand correctly this is bad for minor parties?
It’s good for minor parties and independent candidates.
I’m pleasantly surprised.
