Greens Qualify in Two More States

Posted on August 5, 2005 by admin

The Green Party is just days away from being a qualified party in Louisiana for the first time, and re-qualifying in Utah. In Louisiana the party has its required 1,000 registered members, and will be a qualified party when it submits its $1,000 fee on August 8. In Utah the Green Party has been told it has enough valid signatures, and as soon as it turns a copy of its bylaws, it will be back on the ballot. There are two factions of the Green Party in Utah; the faction that qualified is the faction not recognized by the national Green Party.

Whats the difference between these two factions other then the fact that one has the backing of the national green party?

I can’t tell you the difference between the two factions of the Green Party, but I can provide you the URL to their web sites.
http://www.gput.org/index.shtml is the party affiliated with the National Green Party.

http://www.greenpartyofutah.org/ is the unaffiliated party

Last year, the party officer with the legal responsibility to communicate the name of the presidential nominee to the state elections office refused to do so because his faction thought Ralph Nader, who already had an independent ballot line, should have been the Green endorsee. The candidate who had the best chance of requalifying the party for ballot status was also a member of that faction, and she withdrew from her race; thus the new petition drives. The GPUS recognized the faction that had wanted David Cobb on the ballot as its legitimate affiliate.

I gather that there are long-standing differences about internal decision-making procedures as well, as is often the case in the Green Party. There was already a split a while ago that led to some prominent Greens joining the Democrats.
