TX: Independent Files Suit to Level Electoral Playing Field

From the Penny Stock Newswire:

Charles B. “ChuckM” Meyer, independent write-in candidate for the 18th Congressional District, has filed a suit in the United States District Court against the State of Texas, asking that the ballot for the 18th Congressional race in the November 2, 2010 election be modified to allow the same straight-party voting rights that apply to Republican, Democrat and Libertarian candidates be given to independent candidates for Federal office.


In his complaint, Meyer states that the State of Texas “has established a Constitutionally flawed electoral process for the election of Representatives to the U. S. House of Representatives that is biased toward the election of candidates who are party nominees. The process particularly favors those candidates who are nominees of the Republican and Democratic Parties.”
