Did Shelley Sekula-Gibbs, the GOP’s write-in candidate for Tom Delay’s old seat, break Texas election laws by campaigning inside a polling station this week?
Poll watcher Jane Borden Matcha said Sekula-Gibbs entered the polling place inside the First Colony Conference Center on Thursday.
“I was dumbfounded because she marched right up to me and said âHi, Iâm Shelley Sekula-Gibbsâ â¦and it was my understanding that candidates are not allowed in the polling place unless they’re voting,” Borden Matcha said.
. . .
“I had gone inside to go the bathroom,” said Sekula-Gibbs. “I was definitely not campaigning.”
Who can blame her for hanging out at polling stations? The poor woman has about the worst name imaginable for a write-in candidate. Actually, what I think she said was, “Hi, I’m S-H-E-L-L-E-Y space S-E-K-U-L-A hyphen G-I-B-B-S.”
