Stop "Sore Loser" ballot regulations in Texas 

Ballot access regulations in the Texas Election Code make it difficult for voters who wish to elect their chosen candidates for President and other offices to vote for their particular choice.  For instance (in the case of POTUS):

• A candidate who is not nominated by one of the major parties cannot run as an independent in November.
• If a third party wishes to be on the ballot, it must register in January and then in April it must get 43,992 people who did not vote in the primary to sign a petition.

• If a candidate wants to mount a write-in campaign, s/he must register with the Secretary of State and also get letters from a vice-presidential candidate and 34 people who are willing to be electors.  (The registration part applies to local races as well.)  Anybody who does not register cannot have his ballots counted.

These hoops that people have to jump through are not only silly, but probably unconstitutional, and similar "Sore Loser" laws have been overturned by the courts in other states.

This should appeal to liberals and conservatives alike, as both have been victimized by it in the past.
