Lubbock County Runoff Elections
Several folks have been asking me about runoff election possibilities in Lubbock County. Yes, both parties will have runoff elections. On the Republican side, they still have to elect a County Chair. On the Democratic side, we still have to elect a candidate for the Texas Railroad Commission.
The relevant dates are as follows:
04/08/2008 — Primary Runoff Elections
First day to apply for ballot by mail: 02/08/2008
Last day to register to vote: 03/10/2008
First day of early voting: 03/31/2008
Last day to apply for ballot by mail: 04/01/2008
Last day of early voting: 04/04/2008
Last day to receive mail ballots: 04/08/2008
To participate in a party’s runoff election, you must have either voted in that party’s primary or not voted in any primary. For example, if you just voted in the Democratic Primary election, you cannot vote in the Republican Primary runoff to determine the County Chair.

Any voters that failed to vote can vote in the republican county chair run-off. This is an ideal opportunity to head-off the attempt by local “rich” republicans to install Chris Winn as their puppet and help steer the republican party toward the center and away from the rightwing that has been in charge at republican headquarters. I,Clif Burnett,forced this run-off for the express purpose to attempt to derail the McDougal Properties candidate in the primary. Every vote for Bill Franklin is very appreciated.Thanx,
