DeLay Must Stay on State Ballot, Court Rules
From Times Wire Reports
A federal appeals court panel in Austin refused to let state Republicans replace Tom DeLay’s name on the November congressional ballot.
The finding upheld a July ruling by a federal judge that the ballot must list DeLay, who won a March primary before resigning from Congress on June 9. He now lives in Virginia. State GOP officials said they would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
