Dem’s say Corte can’t run from House district
August 22, 2008
AUSTIN - San Antonio state Rep. Frank Corte must be declared ineligible to run for re-election this fall because the place he claims as a residence is nothing but a vacant lot, the Texas Democratic Party said in a letter Thursday to Republican Party officials.
Chad Dunn, a lawyer for Texas Democrats, provided Bexar GOP Chairman Richard Langlois with public documents showing that Corte lists 4203 Honeycomb St. as his residence. It is a vacant lot in northwest San Antonio.

Winning elections in Texas sometimes isn't about who you are, but about the party you're with. In November, Texans voted straight-party tickets in staggering numbers, once again altering the outcomes of down-ballot races that got caught up in the partisan frenzy.
Texas won't likely turn blue this year and vote for Democrats at the top of the ticket, but experts said this week they expect the state to be more blue after the final numbers are tallied Tuesday.
Even in the heftiest Republican state, where a governor named George W. Bush once led his party to unwavering dominance, Texas Democrats are looking at a change-hungry electorate - and they like what they see.
The 2008 election cycle has created a historic political climate for Texas Democrats. The Advisory Committee on the Texas Democratic Party Convention/Caucus System has been charged with studying the intricacies of our state's election system.
As Texas Republicans gather for their national convention, GOP members back in Dallas are preparing to bolt the party.
