The election that overturned Houston's red-light cameras was invalid, a federal judge ruled Friday.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes said that the issue as presented on the November ballot violated Houston's city charter covering the repeal of an ordinance.
Fifty-three percent voted against Proposition 3 in the Nov. 2 election. The measure forced the city to stop issuing tickets for those caught by the red-light cameras.
Opponents said the fight is far from over.
"We knew this was coming and we're prepared with our next plan. The only thing we were waiting on was to see the federal judge's ruling so we would know how to take our next step," said Paul Kubosh with Citizens Against Red Light Cameras.

So why the need to vote anymore?
Clearly, the outcome doesn't matter as TPTB will carry on with their agendas irregardless of the vote. They were hoping for a win in order to put forth the facade of Democracy in action but when it didn't work, they went ahead with their plan anyway.
It looks like there was never a doubt as to the final result. It could have been a 99% win for the people and it still wouldn't matter.
