On October 4, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Pitman refused to put Rocky De La Fuente on the Texas ballot as an independent candidate for President. He said De La Fuente is not likely to prevail on the merits that the sore loser law for presidential candidates is unconstitutional. De La Fuente had run in the Texas Democratic presidential primary earlier this year, and Texas explicitly says that people who run in a presidential primary cannot then run in November under a different party. Kennedy v Secretary of State of Texas, w.d, 1:16cv-1047.
The case is still alive and will have further proceedings next year.
De La Fuente also signed a pledge to support the Democratic presidential nominee as a condition of appearing on the Democratic primary ballot (this was the pledge that Dennis Kucinich refused to sign).
The Texas Democratic Party may be a necessary defendant in this case.
ALL cases for 2020 (assuming the USA survives the 2016 election, which is somewhat in doubt) must be started IMMEDIATELY after the 2016 results are final-final official.
The SCOTUS hacks need the 9th hack to operate — the backlog of cases may get lots worse until such 9th hack takes office.
