Are you a fan of South Plains politics? Here are your Talking Points for this week.

The interviews for the most important government job in Lubbock are over. Now four people are waiting for a phone call. We’ll take a look at the process and the importance of choosing a new City Manger.

Did you know you can’t express your Second Amendment rights while exercising your First Amendment rights? A look at the pros and cons, as well as the do’s and dont’s at Lubbock polling places.

Also this week we discuss rigged elections. This kind of stuff is nothing new in Texas. Lyndon Johnson “magically” won the Democratic Senate Primary in 1948 after several, shady county recounts. One could make the case that the state’s Voter ID law could have the same effect. One Lubbock County resident, who recently early voted, says her straight ticket vote wasn’t so straight. In fact, she says her straight ticket GOP vote chose Clinton instead of Trump.

Talking Points with Bryan Mudd airs each Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m. and Sunday evenings at 11:05 p.m.
