Texas ballot

Read a random definition: cost of completion

A quick definition of Texas ballot:

A Texas ballot is a piece of paper or a ball used for voting. It is a way for people to choose who they want to be in charge of their government. There are different types of ballots, like the absentee ballot that can be mailed in before the election, or the secret ballot where no one knows who you voted for. The Texas ballot is unique because you mark the candidates you don't want to win instead of the ones you do want to win. This helps when there are many candidates running for a few positions. A spoiled ballot is one that can't be counted because it was filled out incorrectly.

A more thorough explanation:

A Texas ballot is a type of ballot used in elections. It is a paper or ball used for casting a vote. The voter marks the candidates that he or she does not want elected. This type of ballot is particularly useful when the number of candidates only slightly exceeds a large number of representatives being elected.

For example, if there are 10 representatives being elected and 12 candidates running, a voter can use the Texas ballot to mark the two candidates that he or she does not want elected.

Other types of ballots include:

  • Australian ballot: a uniform ballot printed by the government, listing all eligible candidates, and marked in secret.
  • Massachusetts ballot: a type of Australian ballot in which, under each office, the names of candidates and party designations are printed in alphabetical order.
  • Office-block ballot: a ballot that lists the candidates' names under the title of the office sought without mentioning the candidates' party affiliations.
  • Party-column ballot: a ballot that lists the candidates' names in separate columns by political party regardless of the offices sought by the candidates.
  • Absentee ballot: a ballot that a voter submits, sometimes by mail, before an election.

@RasheedWallaceFan: yeah for some reason SMU isnt listed on any of the rankings lists. Been that way all year
@NemoPropheta: you only got another 40+ years of it!
@PremiumFrequentCrane Is right.
You'll forever have those days where shit ain't getting done. Just a matter of how you handle them. (IE using Chatgpt to draft a motion for leave like meeeee)

look at my lawyer dawg... im going to jail
Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.
For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.
@NosyBeagle: just makes me think of vanillamace

real quick question. How much do early applications matter? I have super strong softs and an ok LSAT score of 160. GPA wasn't great at 3.33. I applied in late march and I have been rejected everywhere so far
16:58
late march is way too late
16:58
early doesn’t matter but before thanksgiving matters

Have you used the LSAC search for schools link? It helps a lot letting you know the probability of acceptance.
I mean early early might be overblown but dont apply if you are applying in march
