On August 18, a South Carolina state trial court removed the Labor Party nominees for Governor and Lieutenant Governor from the November ballot. The State Election Commission had intended to print the Labor Party nominees on the ballot, but then the South Carolina Democratic Party filed a challenge. The Democratic Party said the Labor Party nominating convention, held in July 2022, was too late. See this story. Thanks to Michael Rubin for this news.

The decision also means that the Labor Party’s nominee for U.S. House won’t be on the ballot either.

Texas elects state judges on a partisan basis. For some reason, no one qualified for the November 2022 ballot for District Judge, 301st district, in Dallas County, Texas. There are three declared write-in candidates: the incumbent, Judge Mary Brown; Earl Jackson; and Michelle McKinney. Thanks to Jim Riley for this news.
