This is a thing of beauty. Texas law "§192.031 requires that the “written certification” of the “party’s nominees” be delivered “before 5 p.m. of the 70th day before election day.” Because neither candidate had been nominated by the official filing deadline, the Barr campaign argues it was impossible for the candidates to file under state law."

I would SO love to see them not appear on the Texas ballot! I can understand the problem that they didn't hold their conventions in time to meet the deadline, but still, you can't tell me that each party doesn't have any election law specialists that didn't know this. They should have scheduled their conventions appropriately.
