And yet no-one seems in the least bit disturbed that state law is overturned so easily?

Why would Tx make a law requiring filing before National Conventions elect the candidates? Just wondering. I know politicians do strange things.

Can anyone please tell me the law or statute reference info. I have the entire Texas Civil Code and Law Resources on hand and would like to look it up.

2nd edit : Here are the deadlines listed. Note the Aug 26 date is for local positions only.

Sorry for not having that included before

2a, dead's last link list 192.031 of the Election Code.

Both conventions were pushed back this year due to the Olympics.
McCains people probably neglected to check all 50 states' laws,

and Obama's all 57 !

Oh that's right. I forgot above those Olympical things, that I don't watch anymore. I can watch all the pro athletes anytime and I'll see the swimmers at Peters pool. I liked it when it was all amateur. I digress.
I would think there will be an amendment, but shouldn't it have happened before the deadline? In the meantime let's get our drawers all in a wad, which is okay after a night of drinking and you throw'em on the floor.
I wonder why McCain's people didn't check those other 7 states? Shows how incompetent they are.
Sarcasism does not become me. HaHa

Here's one young man who has earned his right to express his opinion and cast his vote...

Excellent ad!

Yes. And the pdf I posted says that the site was updated to include their names. But as explained in the pdf, it was done so in violation to state election rules. And Bob is going to fight this in court. It's going to be interesting.

You obviously didn't read the pdf.

DS - Actually you are wrong. I did read the .pdf, however, unlike many sheep I prefer to get my facts from creditable sources not from a "candidates" (I use that term loosely here) letter or website. That is why I went directly to the SOS site. I appreciate your efforts here , but if Barr plans to sue the state of Texas isn't he going to be wasting a lot of campaign $'s, because in reality we all know the major parties are going to be on the ballot. In addition, he is going to offend many potential third party voters for wasting taxpayer $'s defending his suit. I understand principle and law, but I am more of a common sense kinda guy. That's why I don't care much for politicians.
