Texas Presidential Write-in Filing Deadline Passes

August 22 is the Texas deadline for candidates to file a declaration of write-in candidacy. North Carolina and Texas are the only states with write-in deadlines in August. Five presidential candidates who are on the ballot in some other states filed to have their write-in counted in Texas. They are Tom Hoefling (America’s Party); Laurance Kotlikoff (independent); Michael Maturen (American Solidarity); Monica Moorehead (Workers World); and Emidio Soltysik (Socialist).

Also, six individuals who are not on the ballot for president anywhere filed: Scott Cubbler, Cherunda Fox, Jonathan Lee, Robert Morrow, Dale Steffes, and Tony Valdivia.

Evan McMullin attempted to file, but his filing was rejected because it did not include the names of any presidential elector candidates. Thanks to Jim Riley for this news.

  1. It would be really unfortunate if Castle missed the deadline. I was able to convince my mother to write in his name.

  2. In how many states has Laurance Kotlikoff filed as a write-in? With the way Castle’s campaign is tanking, it wouldn’t surprise me if he has more access to electoral votes than Darrell does by now.
