Texas Republicans Turn Green

Sort of. In an obvious attempt to split the Democratic vote, the Texas Republican Party has worked to get the Green Party on the ballot for 2010. Democrats don't like it a bit and are trying to dig up a scandal over this. I'm not sure what's illegal about this though.

- Green Party makes the Texas ballot
- Republicans Go Green
- Texas Secretary of State Says Green Party Petition is Valid
- Texas Democrats Sue Green Party
- TX Democrats file suit: Who funded Green Party petition drive?

File this under 2301: elections and the consequence of the winner take all system.
