Missouri Ballot Access Improvement Bill

Missouri Senator Joan Bray has introduced SB 797, to fix a problem with the Missouri ballot access laws for new parties. The existing law has a drafting error. Although in general, new parties need not list their candidates on their petition (they choose them later at a convention), the law requires the presidential elector candidates and the presidential candidate to be printed on the petition. The bill would fix that, and provide that they would no longer need to be listed on the petition. Thanks to Ken Bush for this news.
