Texas HB 3101 failed to advance in the State Senate, so it cannot pass. It would have moved the deadline to file as a declared write-in candidate to the same date on which candidates for the same office file to be on the ballot. The bill had passed the House 149-1 on May 7. The only “no” vote had been Representative David Simpson (R-Longview). The bill was very badly worded and it is not even possible to understand what the deadline for filing as a presidential write-in would have been. Thanks to Jim Riley for this news.
