Pratt on Texas

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: The Dallas County Republican Chairman, Allen West, says that Dallas County elections equipment failed required tests and that the elections administrator did not note the failures observed in the public test on the required attestation statement.
