Missouri Bill Passes State Senate

SB 84 passed the Missouri State Senate on March 30. It repairs a drafting error in the state’s ballot access reform bill passed back in 1993. The intent of the 1993 law was to let parties petition for qualified status, and only then would they be required to choose their nominees, in convention. But due to an error back in 1993, the law excluded the right of such a party to nominate for president, unless it had listed candidates for presidential elector on the petition. SB 84 fixes the problem, and deletes the requirement that the electors be listed.
