CAMPAIGN CONSIDERS LEGAL OPTIONS AS PERRY APPOINTEE INTERFERES WITH ELECTION
(AUSTIN) – In light of conflicting, contradictory and obstructive decisions and information provided by the Texas Secretary of State Roger Williams, the Carole Keeton Strayhorn for Governor campaign today said it is exploring its legal options.
“It is regrettable that Rick Perry’s hand-picked secretary of state is spending taxpayer dollars behind
the scenes thwarting our efforts to give voters a real choice in November,” said Brad McClellan, Strayhorn’s campaign manager.
The Texas Secretary of State, the state’s chief election official, has:
Provided contradictory information to independent candidates about when they can begin collecting signatures of registered voters to gain access to the general election ballot.
Prohibited independent candidates from submitting signatures on a “rolling basis” and insisted all
signatures must be submitted for verification at a specific time.
Refused to approve a modified petition form that is easily printed on regular-size – not legal-size –
paper.
Decided verification of signatures will take two months after the signatures are submitted.
“The state can and will determine shortly after the March 7th primary who is eligible to vote in any
runoff, but the secretary of state says it will take two months to verify signatures of voters who want to see Carole Keeton Strayhorn’s name on the ballot in November,” McClellan said. “This is partisan political gamesmanship designed only to keep her out of the election and deny people a choice.”
Attorney Roy Minton said he was exploring the possibility of legal action.
In a letter sent to Williams today requesting formal opinions today, McClellan wrote “How absurd is that
statement when you have to verify primary voters for the runoff election within weeks? How absurd is that statement when you and counties have to know who voted early to allow voters to vote on election day within four days after the end of early voting.”
The campaign said it would announce its legal options this week.
