One of the reasons that the Secretary of State is being some what reasonable here is that the DOJ and a couple of groups of plaintiffs have sued Texas on this law. The Department of Public Safety and the SOS both have been attempting to be reasonable due to this litigation. If you get jerked around, let me know and I can get this information up to Chad Dunn (the attorney for the State Party and the attorney for one of groups of plaintiffs suing Texas).
