  1. #1, good question! I hadn’t thought about that.

    Probably if there were a v-p running mate now, we would have heard about it.

    Almost every state in which it is likely that the Justice Party would use a candidate petition in, permits stand-ins for vice-president. John B. Anderson pioneered that successfully in 1980. So the Justice Party doesn’t need a v-p yet, and can petition with v-p stand-ins.

  3. There may exist advantages to running as many vice presidential candidates as possible.

    Overall concept would be to instruct electors to vote for a Justice Party vice presidential candidate that polled well and then selected by rival partisan committees after the presidential election using a featured voting system such as single transferrable vote. This is political inclusion.

    Presidential campaign would help as vetting devise and campaign survives a controversial pick more easily.

    Other advantages are multiple use of favorite son/daughter candidacies,demonstration of wide appeal, outreach to several important constituentcies. There are also campaign finance opportunities in a very adverse finance era.

    Explaining the tactic is the best part as it relates directly to the subject of the Electoral College and in turn, constitutional political/electoral reform.

  4. What does the Justice Party stand for or want to do with itself? I have not heard much about them in the upper Midwest.

    (Please do not claim that they stand for ‘justice’.)
