TEXIT Petition Reaches the Threshold to Appear on the 2024 Primary Ballot
With more than 102,000 signatures, the movement cleared the legal threshold to place a Texas independence proposition on the 2024 Republican primary ballot and notified the State Republican Executive Committee.
The Texas Nationalist Movement has reached the signature threshold required to place a proposition on the March 2024 Republican primary ballot asking voters, “Should the State of Texas reassert its status as an independent nation?” Under the Texas Election Code, the petition needed 97,709 valid signatures.
In an open letter to the State Republican Executive Committee, which was meeting that weekend to set the ballot propositions, TNM President Daniel Miller reported more than 102,000 signers and offered a sample of the names, cities, and Senate districts. The letter struck a cooperative tone, urging the committee to add the question through its normal process even as the petition guaranteed its place on the ballot by law.
“This issue has been discussed and debated within the Republican Party of Texas for eight years now,” Miller said. “The people want their voices heard, and we could not be more proud of those who answered the call and got us across the finish line. This is historic, and it is just the beginning for TEXIT.”
