Likely result of the gerrymander districts in Nov. 2012 -

even a bit WORSE indirect minority rule — i.e. in the gerrymander districts having 2 Donkeys or 2 Elephants or any district having a D or R and a third party/independent person.

i.e. many Donkey / Elephant voters may not vote in such cases = a higher percentage of NON-votes.

1/2 votes x 1/2 districts = 1/4 control. Stay tuned for the June and Nov math.

Wonderful news about the attorney who represents the challengers. Astonishing how far courts and states will go to cover up their own lawlessness. Dreadful if this eventually goes before the majority of the Supremes.

Anyone know how many signatures each of the third parties in Illinois have for getting on the ballot there?

#7, it’s impossible to know what would have happened if Libertarians had filed in those two districts in which only one person will be on the June ballot and there won’t be any declared write-in candidates. If no Republican wanted to run in any event, I don’t believe the presence of a Libertarian write-in candidate would have stimulated Republicans to also file as write-ins.

So if Libertarians filed in the 14th and 64th district would we see Republicans challege the LP with their own write in’s.

Richard, don’t most secretarty of State’s have leeway in this matter, since the deadline to get ballots printed and sent is much later then those conventions. And if they did not follow the law could there be lawsuits by other parties or citizens?

We talk about minor and third-party candidates… What’s we truly have are two OLD parties that have failed us, we need to look to NEW parties to help guide us towards the future… this year I’m voting for a NEW party!

Out with the old and in with the new…
