Stephenville Empire Tribune: Voter registration cards delayed until all counties are ready

Voter registration certificates, or cards, that are usually mailed between Nov. 15 to Dec. 6 will not be in the mail until after Jan. 11, 2004.

Due to the redistricting plan adopted by the Texas Legislature, a Three-Judge Federal Panel has ordered all county voter registrars to delay the issuance of the voter registration certificates. The court did not include a specific deadline for the registration certificates to be issued; however, the Texas Secretary of State has advised county registrars to mail the certificates as soon as possible beginning on Jan. 11.

Kudos to this small-town paper for their redistricting coverage, it's been very factual. And here, they scoop most every other newspaper. I didn't know that we had to wait until all counties were ready.
