Hi Arun,
I have been in an email exchange with an esteemed law professor, who tells me that I can "affirm" rather than swear an "oath" for the purposes of being a write-in candidate for Texas Governor. It seems to me that an affirmation for legal purposes is a de-facto oath. Do you see a distinction without a difference from your grandfather's perpsective?
Either way, I am going to law in this context, something that one of my five planks forbids.
