The reason why that Kinky Friedman in 2006 had to collect 45,000 signatures of eligible voters who had not voted in March 7 primary in order to be on the ballot because he was a third-party candidate. Because third-party candidate in Texas must receive at least 5 percent of the vote to get on the ballot or 45,000 signatures. Another reason why third-parties has a little success is that the major parties make an industrious effort to absorb them by adopting their issues.
