   This is great news, Most Texans I talk to will 'reluctantly' pull the lever for Trump, thinking it's only 1 or the other liberal, Evan will let them know it's not a BINARY choice in TEXAS!

Couldn't read thepage.....

Any TV coverage planned  or just web feed.?

Constitution Party nominee Darrell Castle, despite being on more ballots than McMullin, was not invited.

   Why would Castle refuse to attend?  He could and should be there. 

    Maybe as some have postulated, He is sick, physically and his heart really ain't in it.

It's not that he refused to attend -- he wasn't invited??  I have noticed that some of the polls are showing Stein and Johnson, but they aren't even listing Castle.  My hunch is that the Constitution Party may be the biggest threat.  Why those in TX wouldn't invite him is puzzling.

BREAKING: Evan McMullin Chooses “Tech Titan” Mindy Finn As His Running Mate



Independent candidate - and possibly the last actual Republican running - Evan McMullin, has officially chosen his running mate. A woman by the name of Mindy Finn.

In an email, McMullin's campaign described who Finn was, and how we can look forward to getting to know her better in the future.


Mindy is the founder and president of Empowered Women, a bi-partisan organization that gives voice to a bold, new generation of American women in civic life. She has served as an advisor to the Republican National Committee, President George W. Bush, and Governor Mitt Romney; and developed business partnerships for Twitter.

We are all thrilled to have such a strong, conservative voice standing beside me as we build a new conservative movement together! Our ticket, like the rest of the campaign, is reflective of the values that we’ve been standing for since day one.

I wonder if Gary Johnson will be able to understand the questions, or find the place.

The Constitution Party has no ballot access here and almost no organization, which is sad.

Correct, this isn't a conspiracy against the Constitution party, the ones listed are the only ones that have ballot access in Texas.

I am sad he isn't qualified in Washington.  He is from Washington.  Maybe he didn't concentrate on Washington because he knew it would go Democrat as always.

Isn't Washington the state where all voting is done by mail? Or is that Oregon? If that's so, the delays inherent with "snail mail" would mean latecomers like McMullin never stood a chance.

I'd think, if anything, blue states like Washington would be more appealing to lower-end third-party candidates, mainly because with no chance of the Republican winning, they can't be blamed for being a spoiler. I suspect ballot access rules are the primary reason for the shutout.

I know in New York, I'm probably going to be restricted to four ballot lines with Clinton, four ballot lines with Trump, two lines with Johnson, and one with Stein. Welcome to "fusion voting"—where you get 11 ballot lines but only four choices.
