The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports the Libertarian Party of Texas will hold its convention in Fort Worth this weekend. Texas LP Executive Director Wes Benedict said about 125 people are expected to attend. Presidential nominee Bob Barr will address the meeting on Saturday.
The newspaper says third parties in the state “are required to have their state convention on the second Saturday in June. The Democratic and Republican parties can hold their state conventions anytime during the month, according to the Texas Election Code. Libertarians have 174 candidates on Texas ballots this year, Benedict said. As in previous elections, many are running largely so their party will be represented in as many races as possible rather than actually expecting to win.”
Is it worth the effort to fight it?
If the Texas Libertarian Party wanted to fight the law telling it when to hold its state convention, it would win. In 1989 the US Supreme Court said that decisions like that are none of the business of the government. Eu v San Francisco County Democratic Central Committee.
