All they had to do was meet a simple filing deadline and they failed.

So it's simple to go back in time? Cool, did not know that.

The Texas law stipulates that this year they had to certify and file by Aug 25th, although the Conventions were set for later than that date. So, the parties either had to move their conventions forward to meet the deadline of one State or they had to figure something else out.

And they did.

Both parties filed the certification paperwork to meet the ballot requirement and then amended their filing after the nominations were official.

Amended paperwork filed on time. Ain't bureaucracy grand!

It's like filing your estimated taxes on April 15th, but filing for an automatic extension. Then you get until August 15th to file your actual form and pay your taxes.

Must suck to be a member of a Party that doesn't even know how to work around red tape.

Actually it must suck to be the head of a party and be dumber than a box of rocks. Barr looks like a complete idiot for not researching this before filing.

What I can’t understand is why is he protesting for removing them from the Texas ballot, when he is from Georgia? Good grief, is he going to pull this in every state? I wonder who the Republicans and Democrats going to vote for if he succeeds at this! (I don’t think he will)But how would he benefit from doing this? I wonder if he realizes that he would be responsible for taking the right to vote away from a lot of people. That is, unless they can write the names in, I guess.
