I actually like the electoral college, personally. It reflects the “Collection of States” as intended by the founders. Just about every other aspect of that intention has been wiped away, but that one remains.

Meanwhile, I hope these lawsuits hold up. I’m sick of these jerks at the SoS doing this.

LPKY won’t be waiting until the last minute, going forward. In 2010 (our next election) we will have begun petitioning in November 2009 (when we can legally start).

Come on Richard, now don’t throw the baby out with the bath water:
“This mess of paperwork involving presidential electors is just one more reason to hope that the Electoral College gets abolished soon.”

The Electoral College has nothing to to with RepubloCRAT corruption.

Isn’t it interesting how the Supremes claim congressional term limits(passed by amendment, by the people who created all constitutions in several States) was “unconstitutional” and would need an amendment to the US constitution? Going along with that”logic(?)”wouldn’t all 27,000+ weapons laws be unconstitutional? As well as all State election laws regarding parties and filing fees? I asked the SOS here in Montana why those running for congress have to pay a fee yet those running for president don’t? His assistant who answered my query said, “I don’t know.” I know the answer. Look at the office of president as falling within the Commerce Cause while the State congressional delegations don’t. You can’t hide behind mommy rules when you don’t like daddy’s rules and vise-versa. LOL

The Prohibitionists lost two states on the same day, leaving them qualified in only two other states. Evidently, America’s Dry Party did everything right, but was denied anyway. What ever happened to free elections in America?

I hope Brian Moore and the Socialist Party file a lawsuit in Mississippi and Louisiana.

Many elections officials consider their post “ministerial,” and argue that they have no discretion to ignore a deadline.

However, they often don’t put up much of a fight when you sue the election official to put the candidate back on the ballot, arguing that the state doesn’t have a compelling interest in keeping the candidate off of the ballot because of a missed deadline.

Once ordered by the court, the dutiful election official places the candidate on the ballot.

But it can be a hassle to file a lawsuit and get a court to act.

In every case of major party candidates missing the deadline, they’ve been allowed on the ballot, even when 3rd party candidates on the same ballot, the same year, were rejected.
