Judge Dismisses GOP Lawsuit That Sought to Remove Dozens of Democrats From November Election

A judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit that would have removed more than 80 Democrats from the November general election ballot, putting to rest a controversy that threatened to toss Dallas County elections into chaos.

State District Judge Eric Moyé ruled that Dallas County Republican Party Chairwoman Missy Shorey did not have standing to bring a lawsuit against Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Donovan and 127 Democrats originally listed on the March 6 primary election ballot.

After the primary, the names of the candidates that were in jeopardy dwindled to 82.
