A San Antonio panel of federal judges, in response to a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to take on Texas' redistricting maps, signed an order today that pushes back the deadline to file for office.
The Texas court made official an agreement to extend the deadline to file for federal, state, county and local offices to 6 p.m. Dec. 19. The filing period will then be reopened once political boundary lines are approved for the state legislature and U.S. congressional seats so that candidates affected by the changes can either file for office, amend their applications or withdraw their names.
Other revisions by the court will allow candidates, who already put their names in the hat for office, to get a refund on their campaign filing fees if they choose to withdraw from the race. That option is not currently available under state law.
I consider this the finest blog I have read all this hour.
