The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has this story about the Libertarian Party’s candidates in Texas in 2012. Even though the party has over 100 candidates for federal and state office, the story reveals that the party would have had more, except that redistricting uncertainty made it difficult to recruit candidates, especially for the state legislature.
One error the story had was that nominations would be made at the statewide convention in June. Only nominations for statewide offices are made then.
Nominations for other offices were either made at county conventions on March 17 (county and county precinct offices; and districts contained within a single county), or district conventions on March 24 (multi-county districts).
