More than once in recent days, Dave Levinthal's had to warn City Hall Blog commenters to
stay on topic and stop shouting, "Voter fraud!" in the District 1 Dallas City Council runoff pitting Delia Jasso against Justin Epker.

Matt Pulle dutifully retraced their steps and came up with one of Rodriguez's kids, but no Juana else. A woman identifying herself as her daughter told Matt, "I've been advised not to speak. I'm not giving out any information."

But Matt lathers up a far sudsier soap opera in which Domingo Garcia, Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Elba Garcia and Dallas County Commissioner Ken Mayfield have supporting roles.
