Wed, 17 Aug 2005 05:05:23 +0000 http://ballot-access.org/2005/08/12/michigan-bill-introduced/#comment-925 Rep. Drolett, a libertarian-Republican, historically has shown empathy for third parties in Michigan. Several years ago, he spearheaded legislation that changed (and subsequently made easier) requirements for third parties retaining ballot access status. Prior to that legislation, the third party candidate listed highest (usually Gubenatorial or Congressional candidates in mid-terms elections) on the ballot had to achieve 1% of the number of votes cast for the Michigan Secretary of State in the previous election cycle. This was misleading for third parties as a whole because partisan candidates lower on their tickets (i.e. State Representative candidates) typically received well over 1% while the top of the ticket candidate often received less. The party would then have to petition again (in the "Great Lakes State" this means roughly 32,000 signatures within a 6-month time period), which is both dramatically costly and time-consuming. Drolett, in any case, again shows himself to be friendly towards third parties and the competitiveness and voter choice they bring to Michigan elections. Rep.

Perhaps, more third parties will try to obtain ballot access. This is a good sign. Perhaps, more third parties will try to obtain ballot access.
