Evan McMullin, the independent presidential candidate who announced on August 8, plans to sue Texas and several other states over their early petition deadlines for independents. See this general strategy summarized at The Weekly Standard. It is likely McMullin will also sue Illinois, Indiana, and North Carolina, states with June deadlines. June petition deadlines have already been declared unconstitutional in Alaska, Nevada, Arizona, South Dakota, and Kansas (in Kansas, the state conceded June was too early, and voluntarily moved the deadline to August; that happened in 1988).
