A county Democratic Party proposal could see Texan independence advocates banned from elected positions in the state.
The Kendall County Democratic Party in Texas passed a resolution on March 8 calling for changes to the state electoral code to ban advocates of Texan independence from appearing on the ballot 'for a state or county office' in the Lone Star State.The motion will be put before the KCDP county convention for final approval on March 23. If it is approved, the resolution will go to the Texas Democratic Party's state convention in June, where it could be approved as party policy.
'However, Daniel Miller, president of the pro-independence Texas Nationalist Movement , told Newsweek the proposal is anti-democratic.He said: 'This resolution flies in the face of the Texas Constitution and our Bill of Rights, further proving that the machine of the Texas Democratic Party isn't content to suppress pro-Texit voices of dissent within their own party. They want to impose their distaste for democracy and suppress the voice of every Texan.
