Judge to rule Monday on GOP suit seeking to remove dozens of Dallas County Democrats from ballot

[TexasTowelie]

State District Judge Eric Moyé will decide Monday whether a lawsuit that would kick more than 80 Democrats off the November general election ballot should proceed.

On Friday, lawyers for the Democrats targeted for removal argued that the case should be dismissed for several reasons — including their contention that the plaintiff, Dallas County Republican Party Chairwoman Missy Shorey, does not have standing to file a suit that would remove Democrats from the ballot.

When the case was filed, Republicans sought to have a judge remove 127 Democrats from the ballot because Dallas County Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Donovan did not sign their candidate petitions.

After the March 6 primary, the number of Democrats potentially affected was reduced to 82.

A judge in Dallas on Monday dismissed a Republican lawsuit calling for local Democrats to be taken off of the ballot in the upcoming 2018 midterm elections.

State District Judge Eric Moyé ruled on Monday that Republicans lacked standing in the case.

The case, which was brought by the Dallas County Republican Party, aimed to remove over 80 local Democrats from the November ballot.

"The Republican Party seems to be doing everything in its power to show minority voters that it has little regard for them at the national, state, and now local level," state Rep. Eric Johnson (D) told The Texas Tribune. "
