but I would support an attempt to do so in the form of a "nullification" rule at the state convention that strips BOTH Greens of their nominations."

Non-starter. Paul Green got establishment support. I am on the Susan Lilly list. everyone gave to him ... dont ask me why. And everyone endorsed him.

We could however go after Bill Green. Maybe if we get enough affidavits of people who voted for Bill Green, we could get a 'nullification'.

"It is my belief that the Republican Party could successfully fight off a lawsuit of that type based upon a relatively recent precedent in which the Arkansas Democrats were allowed to refuse to seat Lyndon LaRouche delegates at their convention even though they had won delegate slots under state law."

Likewise we could fight off this if there is some power for the party to withdraw support based on voter confusion.

The effort would be pretty much in vain if the end result is an empty name on the ballot ... can we go back and undo that so that Garcia is back on the ballot?

I'm not sure what happened in your part of the state but in mine (Harris County/Houston) the exact opposite was true. Smith got most of our local party leadership endorsements and even got two of the three major "rent-a-slates," which almost always go with Perry's guy. There were only 2 notable Green endorsements out of Houston that I can think of: one was by the United Republicans which is a "big tent" pro-abort moderate group that nobody listens to, and the other was by the leftist Houston Chronicle.
