Daily Newspaper in Springfield, Massachusetts Story on United Independent Party’s Registration Drive

The Republican, daily newspaper for Springfield, Massachusetts, has this story about the United Independent Party’s voter registration drive. The party needs to increase its registration during the next period so as to maintain ballot status after the November 2016 election. It is ballot-qualified now, but it will lose that status in November 2016 unless it either has registration of 1% of the state total, or unless it runs a presidential nominee who gets 3% of the vote. Massachusetts doesn’t have any statewide elections in 2016 except for President.

The Massachusetts daily newspapers have given a great deal of publicity to the United Independent Party. Generally Massachusetts daily newspapers don’t cover minor parties very well.

The Massachusetts law letting parties obtain and keep party status if they have registration of 1% was created in 1990, but no party has ever made use of it.

  1. Surprised this party does not have its name and website posted on politics1.com. And hope they get the registrations necessary to retain ballot access. But wonder if their purpose is to “out-liberal” the Democratic Party? I think, time will prove, they will get more political accomplishments by working for legislation to “co-nominate” a major party nominee who holds to their general philosophy.
