How much $$$ to do a PROPER ballot access case about SEPARATE – IS – NOT – EQUAL ???

Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483, 495 (1954).

I.E. to have 1 or more EQUAL tests for ALL candidates for the SAME office in the SAME area to get on the ballots ???

I.E. An EQUAL nominating petition to show preliminary support from the Electors.

This AIN’T atomic physics.

I don’t see that “glitch” as a problem; because as stated “The intent of the law (created in 1993) was to let parties qualify before they had chosen any candidates.” I see that as a good thing.

Thanks to Senator Joan Bray…..always a champion of fairness and justice.

Show Me Independents are pleased with the passage of SB797 and death (at least this year) of HB1310. We do have concerns with others such as SB1038 concerning campaign contributions which passed late yesterday and voter ID.
