Voters could still write-in their choices, but it would make it more confusing, and could suppress voter turnout which could affect down-ticket candidates in Texas.

I don't care who it helps. If true, I would love to see this happen. His comment about the hubris of the Big 2 is spot on.

 

Never happen, of course...at worst, the state legislature, controlled by the two parties, rewrites the law and puts the two of them back on the ballot.

 

But it would be great to see. :(

Looks like he's not on in the following:

 

Oklahoma, Maine, Mass, WV, and Conn...

 

Linky?

I don't think they can use new laws to forgive past transgressions. :devil: The Governor could probably pardon them.

 

It would be :( ing funny as hell to see this happen. He's right, why should they get a pass?

:wallbash: Go Bob!

 

John McCain has got to be sh*tting a brick over this one. He stands no chance without Texas' 34 guaranteed electoral votes

 

Obama is probably funneling money to Barr for this.

I don't think they SHOULD be able to. But while it's unconstitutional to pass a law to punish past transgressions, I don't know that it's strictly illegal to apply a law retroactively otherwise. It's certainly not illegal to try...and the final arbiter would be the Texas courts. By the time they made a decision, the point would probably be moot.

 

I mean, I'm not advocating it (hell, no...I think it's an idiotic idea). I'm just saying they could easily try, and get away with it.

Not necessarily, if it is still being decided and the race is close it could turn into another 2000 election bullcrap fight. They may have to wait for the Texas Supreme Court's decision before certifying the election results.
