The Texas Supreme Court dealt a blow to Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr on Tuesday, rejecting his effort to remove John McCain and Barack Obama from the ballot. The state's highest court offered only a matter-of-fact ruling, stating it denied his maneuver to keep the Republican and Democratic presidential nominees off the ballot.Barr and the Libertarian Party of Texas argued the two major parties candidates were not officially nominated by their respective parties by the state's Aug. 26 deadline, and therefore their names should not have been certified by the secretary of state.
The court rejected that logic but did not offer any explanation for denying the case.
