Texas election code gives the ballot board the responsibility to process early voting results. Chairs of the participating political parties — which in Tarrant County are the Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians — submit a list of nominees to the county election board to approve or deny the individuals.
The county election board includes the Democrat and Republican Party chairs along with elections administrator Clint Ludwig, Republican County Judge Tim O’Hare and Republican Sheriff Bill Waybourn.
When the county election board convened in July, it approved nine members from each party to the ballot board.
On Oct. 29, it added 20 more members: 14 Republicans, three Democrats and three Libertarians. The board did not discuss why the additional members were necessary, but it did clarify with the body’s attorney that it could approve the unequal lists as provided by the parties.
The Tarrant County Libertarian Party disagrees with that notion and asked the 2nd Court of Appeals in Fort Worth to limit the number of Republicans on the ballot board to 12, the number of approved Democrats and Libertarians.
The court denied the request on Election Day without an opinion. Now, the Libertarians are escalating their case to the Supreme Court of Texas in an emergency motion. The filers have asked the court to respond by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, and rule by noon Thursday, Nov. 12.
If the court agrees with the Tarrant County Libertarian Party, the Republicans would have 11 fewer members on the ballot board and the same amount as the other two participating parties. The change would be in place for any ballot board work required, including a hand count audit, after the Commissioners Court canvasses the votes on Friday.

"You know who hasn't got ANY f__king representation in the United States? AMERICANS!"
There's party division, but not as presented.I've always believed that it really doesn't matter, R or D. They beg you to vote for them, promise you all sorts of neat stuff and once in office they go back to business as usual.
