Dallas City Council hopefuls claim 'election interference' after ballot denial issues
It's three weeks into the Dallas City Council race. While several seats are up for grabs, there are three hopefuls you won’t see: Keio Gamble of District 8, Aimee Ramsey of District 14, and Landers Isom III of District 4.
The three all checked the box “felony conviction status” on their applications.
Gamble points to the wording in the Texas Election Code.
“The Texas Election Code says that if you have a prior felony conviction, then you need to provide proof of pardon or otherwise being released from those results and disabilities," Gamble said. "That’s the big piece that has allowed other people to get on the ballot. It says pardon or. It doesn’t say pardon only."
