Delaware Elections Officials Ask for Legal Advice on Whether to Disqualify Certain Minor Parties Immediately

On February 1, when Delaware’s HB 245 was signed into law, the Green, Constitution, Working Families, and Socialist Workers Parties ceased to be ballot-qualified in Delaware. The law went into effect immediately and set the number of registered voters at approximately 600 members. The old law required approximately 300.

Of course, those parties do have an opportunity to get back on the ballot, by obtaining new registrations between now and August. However, because there is case law that it violates due process for states to increase ballot access requirements in the middle of campaign season, the Delaware Election Commissioner has asked her legal counsel to help her decide whether she should implement the new law immediately, or whether implementation should be postponed until 2011.

  1. How soon before a gerrymander gang passes a law saying that only its gangsters have ballot access — before or after any gerrymander election ???

    For any clueless MORONS on this list — The U.S.A. is de facto gerrymander brain dead politically (and has been since 1929 or even perhaps 1865) — rather ripe for a A.R. II and/or C.W. II.

    Solve for A.R. and/or C.W.
