Reform Party Files for Political Body Status in California

The Reform Party was once a qualified party in California, but it went off the ballot in November 2002 because none of its statewide nominees polled at least 2% of the vote. The party has recently informed the Secretary of State that it intends to re-qualify. It needs approximately 60,000 registered members by July 11. The last time the state did a tally for the Reform Party, in January 2014, it had 16,377 members.

The Reform Party filing is not complete yet. Its notification only listed a state chairman, but the Secretary of State has said that a political body needs at least two state officers, not just one, so the paperwork will need to be refiled. Once the paperwork is complete, the state will tell county election officials to calculate how many registrants the party has. The first tally that will include the Reform Party will be in April. The January tally won’t include the Reform Party because the paperwork wasn’t filed in time to be included in that tally.

  2. Republican and Democratic candidates who were left off the primary ballots are strategically coordinating as a United Coalition.

    As more of our team gets left out it is expected that our numbers of disinfranchised candidates will grow.

    Check out the United Coalition and our plan to select a #1 and #2 with up to 9,998 consecutively ranked names as backups.

    Nobody has it as good as our team.

  3. Looking at the decay in registration over the years, there are some curious spikes where a county will have a bug jump one year, and then it will all disappear the next.

    For example, Santa Clara went from 1275 to 3314 from 2008 to 2009, and then dropped back to 1076 in 2010.

    Santa Clara also had a spike in 2007: 1644, 4981, 1275.

    Riverside from 2009-2012: 1500, 3046, 2997, 2245, 2713, 814.

    San Joaquin from 2009-2012: 117, 810, 806, 129.

    Santa Cruz from 2010-2012: 287, 547, 249.

    What is happening? Are voters being tricked into changing their registration, and then the registrar is resetting them?

    I could see where a registration drive could pick up bunches of people who aren’t registered, and wouldn’t register on their own, and likely will never vote. But those registrations would last for a couple of election cycles.
