Phil Violates "Sore Loser" Provision

LIBERTY, August 25, 2010 - In the Texas Supreme Court case styled State v. Hodges, 92 S.W.3d 489, 494 (Tex. 2002), the Court stated the following:

Section 162.015(a)(1) prohibits a primary candidate from later running for the same office as an independent, and section 162.015(b) prohibits a primary candidate from later running for the same office as a write-in candidate. These so-called "sore loser" provisions of section 162.015 are not at issue in this case.
