Texas Write-in Deadline for President Passes

Texas has an August 26 deadline for declared write-ins to file to have their write-ins counted. Presidential candidates meeting the deadline are: Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney, Brian Moore, Alan Keyes, Jonathan Allen, and Thaddeus Hill.

Although Chuck Baldwin appears not to have filed, it is difficult to imagine how Texas could refuse his late filing, given that the Republican and Democratic Parties failed to meet the parallel deadline for ballot-listed parties to certify their presidential and vice-presidential nominees. UPDATE: the Texas Constitution Party did file the write-in documents and can prove it.

Texas Write-in Deadline for President Passes — No Comments

  1. Thaddaus Hill is a political scientist from New Ulm, Texas. He’s running as the candidate of the “Madisonian Federalist Party”

    Hill’s website is at http://www.madisonian.org/

    He’s in favor of unlimited legal immigration, would appoint judges like Thurgood Marshall and John Roberts, would ask for a declaration of war in regards to Iraq, and favors free trade.

  2. Hill, is he the Community College teacher [and author]?

    Keyes on, Baldwin not in California and Texas! Ouch!

    The first rule of politics: “do not make any unecessary enemies!”

  3. I’d love to see McCain & Obama cry about the “unfair” election laws.
    Legally, since the duopoly failed to meet the deadline for naming candidates and missed the deadline for “Write-in Declaration”; assuming a judge doesn’t overturn these deadlines, the duopoly will not get the votes in Texas, right?
    This almost guarantees the House select the President; I love it!
