The Austin Chronicle of Texas reports that “while Democrats are looking to knock Republicans out at the state level, the GOP is facing serious challenges from Libertarians over who the real party of opposition is in Travis County. The Libertarian Party of Texas is demanding that the Travis Co. Republican Party hand over public records of its March 4 precinct conventions, and its leaders say they have been waiting four months for them. Under the Texas Election Code, convention chairs must make copies of the original list of all delegates and alternates selected and submit them to the county chair within three days of the convention. While the originals are not public information, the copies are, and that’s what LPT Executive Director Wes Benedict is requesting.†Benedict “plans to use the delegate lists to contact disaffected Republicans. ‘I’d like to send fundraising letters to them and see if I can get them to join the Libertarian Party,’ said Benedict. He sees no issue with one party contacting another party’s activists and added, ‘I get letters and e-mails from John McCain every day.’â€
