Now that the deadline for posting county conventions has passed, can SLEC get a report regarding which counties failed to meet the reporting requirements and will be unaffiliated as a result?

Thank you.

Hey Joe, the deadline for precinct notices has passed but not for county. That deadline is tomorrow.

But to your point, I’ve been chatting with @Jacob Bradley and @Christy Ford to evaluate status just based on Precinct Notices.

To provide a brief summary, we know that there are 13 counties that did not submit precinct notices and will be disaffiliated.

There are 4 more that we’re still evaluating, and I had a good conversation with a legal contact in the SoS Elections Division today that could help with some of these 4 counties. (Currently waiting to receive details in writing)

More to come, but that’s the high-level overview as it currently stands.
 
Is there anything we can do about Hidalgo and Llano Counties? We just affiliated Hidalgo recently for the sole purpose of nominating John Foddrill in CD28. Joe Burnes, a rather reliable fellow, is in charge of Llano. Is it just that they didn't provide proof, or is it known for sure they didn't set anything up?

If neither of the candidates are running in districts with an affiliate, there's nothing to be done.
 
The laws definitely are not conducive to small parties, as expected. If we don't have a county affiliate, our state convention should be able to nominate candidates in unaffiliated areas, but of course, the state wouldn't allow that.
