Judge Rejects Strayhorn Request On Signatures
A federal judge in Austin rejected independent gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn’s bid to speed up signature verification for her ballot petitions. Judge Lee Yeakel upheld the Texas secretary of state’s plan to verify signatures individually, allowing standard practice. Strayhorn and humorist Kinky Friedman seek to join the November governor race alongside Perry and Bell, needing 45,540 valid signatures by Thursday.
