Texas Supreme Court Refuses Mandamus in At Large Runoff Plan
The Texas Supreme Court declined Mrs. Derden's mandamus request to force the State Democratic executive committee to list her as a congressman at large candidate on primary ballots without regard to place. Attorneys say the court’s action leaves the issue open for procedural consideration similar to a San Antonio ruling, with a certified question from a civil appeals court requiring an answer. The party planned grouping candidates on ballots for three at large seats, with runoffs if no majority exists, while critics argued the law requires all names to appear on the ballot.
