On September 16, a Texas state trial court ruled that independent legislative candidate Linda Curtis should remain on the ballot. She had been challenged by her Republican opponent. Gerdes v Scott, Travis County District Court, D-1-GN-22-3841.

Texas independent candidate petition sheets require information about the name of the candidate to be repeated several times. Some of Curtis’ petition sheets didn’t fill out all the blanks, but each petition sheet had the needed information in at least one place. The court order says the petition is valid. Furthermore, the order says the challenge was filed too late. Thanks to Jim Riley for this news.
