Bob Barr and Wayne Allyn Root will not appear on the ballot in West Virginia. We felt there was a case to be made since the deadline to turn in petitions is nearly a full month before Republicans and Democrats are required to file. The judge didn't see things our way.
It also appears that Republicans and Democrats will be allowed to ignore statutory requirements in Texas with absolutely no repercussions. Just imagine if the Libertarian Party had missed the deadline to file. There is no doubt that we would be left off the ballot.
If they are going to ignore the Constitution then far be it from me to believe they are going to pay attention to their own ballot access laws.
It’s disappointing but we will keep going, as determined as ever.
