So if Tom DeLay holds Nick Lampson under 50% on election day, and if DeLay is not a resident of Texas on that day, then can he be removed from the ballot before the run off.  Or do we have to wait until the runoff to determine whether or not he is a resident ofTexas?

Breaking News: Three Judge Court Issues Texas Redisticting Order
The three judge court has issued this order redrawing CDs 15, 21, 23, 25, and 28. See also the court's opinion. The court has ordered new elections to be held (old results will be thrown out). This will be a winner-take-all election in each district on election day. If no one gets 50%, there will be runoffs on a later date. More to come.
