Electoral Row Still Echoes In Legislature
AUSTIN texts describe two controversies in the legislature, one on presidential elector ballots and another on relocating the University of Texas medical branch. A Fertsch bill substitutes candidate names for elector names on general election ballots, while Maurits proposes a constitutional amendment to move the medical branch to a larger urban center and authorize bonds for new facilities pending voter approval. The measures emphasize party influence, relocation, and funding, with committee action calling for further study.
