Also, Straus had nothing to do with the Tea Party 2010 election results and to credit him with such is ridiculous. Emails from his team make quite clear his disdain for conservatives and Tea Party folk. I don't blame a fellow San Antonio rep. for supporting the home-town guy but, that's all it is. There is nothing substantive in the column which makes a "case for Joe Straus".

Editorial: Texas should ban texting while driving - How is a ban going to stop it? Do speed limits stop speeding? We've decades with seat belt and insurance requirement laws and yet we've about the same percentage of drivers with no insurance as well as deaths weekly where a seat belt wasn't worn. All a ban does is give police another tool for selective, capricious handling of law enforcement - something that degrades the overall respect for the Rule of Law. Put your thinking caps on editors.

Travis Co. joins Lubbock Co. with vote-anywhere Super Precincts Tuesday - I was the one who did the work to establish super-precincts in Lubbock with action in the Legislature on a bill originally setup by Harris Co. and the Sec. of State's office (Harris Co. never did move forward on the matter). My purpose was never about increasing turnout, it was about 1) lowering costs by having to buy less of the automated equipment mandated by HAVA; 2) lower costs by significantly reducing election day payroll costs; 3) improve convenience for voters; 4) lower the number of places candidates and campaigns have to cover on election day, and; 5) use the technology required for super-precincts to improve the security of voting. Sadly the local government has little interest in lowering costs and has ballooned the the super-precinct numbers, as well as the Elections Office, well beyond what was envisioned, or required to meet legal rules. They've done what gov't does - made it all cost more instead of less! It is still more convenient but lowering costs were what should have been the driving factor and result.

Prof: Abbott's threat to election observers shows lack of understanding - Read the original letter, all Abbott did was remind them that Texas has laws governing poll watchers and that they would have to abide by our laws or could be prosecuted. How in the heck is this controversial unless you have no respect for the Rule of Law. That IS the American revolution - that no person is above the Rule of Law. What else would you have the Attorney General do? I've been an election judge many times and am expected to follow the law when serving as such. There is no special, above-the-law pass for anyone to observe. There is a procedure set out in the Texas election code for observers to follow and that's what Abbott pointed out.
