Making an Impact

“The Lone Star Project … hammers Republicans whenever it gets a chance, promoting strong local Democratic candidates and even bringing lawsuits.”
(Roll Call, Stuart Rothenberg,
March 12, 2009)

“Anyone who questions whether [The Lone Star Project] can make life difficult for a Republican legislator should talk to former Sen. Kim Brimer.”
(Austin American Statesman, February 17, 2009)

“[The Lone Star Project] is responsible for the aggressive stance the party has taken toward DeLay and other Lone Star State Republicans since the 2004 election.”
(The Washington Post, March 6, 2006)

 

"David Dewhurst has said most Texans don't have much sympathy "for someone who that can't fill out a two page [health insurance] application every six months".

The Democrat-supported Lone Star Project in Washington reported this week that Dewhurst failed to file necessary forms at least six times in recent years.
(San Antonio Expres News,, 4/12/2007)

"The Justice staff memo was obtained by the Lone Star Project ...The story broke the same day the U.S. Supreme Court was considering legal challenges to the plan brought by Democrats and minority groups."
(Houston Chronicle, 12/3/2005)

"The Texas chapter of the NAACP, along with the Lone Star Project, have analyzed the amicus brief filed by the Justice Department and have concluded, justifiably, that the Voting Rights section of the Justice Department is now controlled by partisan political appointees."

Lone Star Legal


A central part of the Lone Star Project’s mission to fight failed and corrupt Republican control in Texas and Washington is to support, and in some cases, initiate aggressive court challenges to illegal Republican activity.  A number of Lone Star Project supported cases have been completed, and others are pending.  To help Lone Star Project members track developments in specific cases, we have organized Lone Star Legal, which is a special section of our website where will briefs legal briefs and provide explanation and commentary on pending cases. 

Abbott Mail Ballot Challenge
The Lone Star Project broke the story exposing Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott’s bogus voter integrity unit and his use of a flawed Texas election statute to target senior minority Democrats for criminal prosecution.  With the support of the Lone Star Project, Texas citizen plaintiffs and the Texas Democratic Party filed suit in Federal Court against Abbott.

Texas Redistricting
The Lone Star Project played a key role in the legal challenge to Tom DeLay’s outrageous mid-decade redistricting plan.  The Lone Star Project conducted technical research, helped cover legal costs and provided accurate analysis and commentary throughout the redistricting battle.

ESlate Voting Machines
The Texas Democratic Party has filed suit Federal Court challenging the use of electronic voting machines in Texas that fail to provide a paper trail for votes and, more important, violate laws requiring uniform voting procedures in all counties.
