On April 25, the Texas House Elections Committee passed HB 4416, by 6-3.  It makes it more difficult for a party to remain on the ballot.  Existing law says a party remains on if it polls at least 5% for any statewide race, or 2% for Governor.  The bill changes the 5% to 10%.

An earlier post said this bill had been defeated in committee, because it had been marked “left in committee.”  However, it was revived.
