Texas appears to have a policy of awarding no more than one nomination per candidate. The two senators wait to see who received a nomination from their MOC, and then remove those candidates from their respective nominee list. In other words, the policy appears to be only one nomination per candidate.
The intent of this policy is to maximize the number of Texans in the national nomination pool. Unfortunately this has the side-effect of limiting the number of slates a highly qualified candidate can compete against.
Are there any other states that limit the number of nominations awarded to a candidate? I realize there are a few Texas candidates that have received more than one nomination, but it appears they “slipped through.”
