Libertarian Party presidential nominee Bob Barr is trying to get Barack Obama and John McCain taken off the Texas ballot.
On Tuesday, Barr said he filed a lawsuit to remove the names of the two candidates because he said they missed they missed the official filing deadline to be on the November 4 general election ballot. Barr's campaign is arguing that because niether of the candidates had been officially nominated by their parties by the official filing deadline, it is impossible they filed under state law.
Randall Dillard, a spokesman for the Texas Secretary of State's Office, told The Associated Press the ballot was certified on Sept. 3. He also said he was confident the ballet was certified properly and Texans will have the oportunity to select the candidate of their choice.
