Via Ballot Access News:
The 1787 Party has notified the Texas Secretary of State that it will attempt to qualify for the 2014 ballot. That will take 49,729 valid signatures of voters who did not vote in the March 2014 primary. The petitioning period starts in March and ends on May 20.
The founder of The 1787 Party, Emily Mathews, now lives in New York, but she earlier lived in Texas and ran for public office in Texas. According to the party’s web page, www.1787foramerica.org, the party will try to get on the ballot in at least two other states besides Texas in 2014.
No, they are keeping that info hidden. But their MO seems to be pretty consistent. See

Do you know any specific people who were involved with Americans Didn’t Elect who are now involved with 1787? The only name I’ve heard so far is Emily Mathews, and before 1787 came along I’d never heard of her.
At least that’s the indications I have seen so far.
They are the folks who brought us Americans Elect, so money is not their problem.
Unless they got a Donald Trump on their side, their chances are nil on getting on the ballot.
Texas is sort of a high hurdle for a new party. If they haven’t decided on the other two states yet, I believe Florida and Mississippi are the easiest.
