Sorry, Texas, your State election laws forbids it.

Texas Political Party Nomination

A presidential candidate nominated by a political party may be placed on the general election ballot. Political parties must certify the names of the candidates for president and vice-president and the names of the presidential electors before the later of the 71st day before the presidential election, or the first business day after the date of final adjournment of a party’s national nominating convention. A political party that is authorized or required to nominate candidates by primary election is entitled to have its nominee for president placed on the general election ballot. A political party is authorized to nominate by primary if the party’s nominee for governor in the most recent gubernatorial general election received at least 2% of the total number of votes received by all candidates for governor in the election; a political party is required to nominate by primary if that candidate received more than 20% of the vote. A political party that nominates candidates by convention is entitled to have its nominee for president placed on the general election ballot if the party had a nominee for statewide office at the last general election receive a number of votes equal to at least 5% of the total number of voters received by all candidates for that office.

A political party that nominates by convention may also qualify to place a presidential candidate on the general election ballot if the party files with the secretary of state no later than the 75th day after precinct conventions a list convention participants indicating that the number of participants equals at least 1% of the total number of votes received by all candidates for governor in the most recent gubernatorial general election. If the number of convention participants is fewer than the number required, the party may qualify for ballot access at the general election by filing a petition with secretary of state containing a number of signatures that when added to the number of convention participants on the list equals at least 1% of the total number of voters received by all candidates for governor in the most recent gubernatorial election.

Petition

An independent presidential candidate may obtain ballot access for the general election by filing with the secretary of state no later than the 2nd Monday in May an application and a petition containing the number of signatures equal to at least 1% of the total vote received in the state by all candidates for president in the most recent presidential election. The application must include the names of the presidential electors.

Write-In

A write-in candidate for president must file a declaration of write-in candidacy and the names of the presidential electors with the secretary of state no later than the 78th day before the election.

Big shoutout to Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold for making this happen.

Trump was the worst President in U.S. History.

Old > Fascist

This isn't even a question for me.

Can we build a wall to prevent them crossing the border to America?

Republicans are more concerned with dress code and fake impeachment than keeping the government open.

There is absolute proof Republicans are anti-military.

Good luck finding right-wing professors, Ron. Alumni of the Florida Universities are going to be really mad when the schools can't fund football and basketball in the coming years. They already have a recruiting crisis due to Ron's actions.

Florida is in for a rough time, in the next ten years will have a massive shortage of medical workers, teachers, and professionals. It will be the most uneducated state in the western hemisphere and likely a major center of criminal activity.

I'll never forget she tried to warn everyone of the abuse the Catholic Church was committing and everyone shunned her for it. A true hero.

Biden might be old and a bit clumsy at times, but the man doesn't keep me up at night and his policies have been home runs. He isn't overspending, he has actual experts in all his departments, hell, the economy is rock solid and the inflation caused by the mismanagement of Trump is dropping. I don't have any excuse to not support him for another term if he ends up getting the nomination.
