Court says DeLays name must remain on ballot

A federal appeals court ruled today that former Rep. Tom DeLay's name must remain on the ballot. Despite the fact that he no longer resides in Texas but moved to Virginia. The Texas GOP attempted to replace DeLay with another republican since DeLay resigned from the US House on June 9th. The democrats opposed the filing because they want to use DeLay as a way to campaign on the culture of corruption since republicans are in the majority. This will be interesting to reconcile since the federal constitution requires that a candidate reside in the state that he or she intends to represent. DeLay won the republican primary back in March.
