North Carolina Governor Vetoes “Sore Loser” Bill

On June 15, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper vetoed SB 486. Among many other provisions, it prevents parties that nominate by convention from nominating anyone who had earlier that year run in a party primary for the same office. North Carolina already bans primary candidates from becoming independent candidates, but the law doesn’t apply to nominations by convention parties. Generally, newly-qualifying parties in North Carolina nominate by convention, not primary.

  1. Political parties and political party bosses will be finding laws written under plurality election for eternity. When all the laws are perfect these same bosses will still find things to fight over and so the fights are endless and destructive.

    The United Coalition on the other hand, does not pretend to be a boss who disagrees with everyone who is not with one particular party/category, instead we look at math, ballots marked with numerals on which we build. We require pure proportional representation (PPR) be used, and that every individual has the liberty and respect to self-categorize as they wish and to be treated as an equal under math.

    The United Coalition has been using PPR and inclusion of the whole for more than twenty-three consecutive years and PPR works fine.

    Under PPR we have addressed many characteristics of ballot access, equal free speech time, issues with regards to slander, geo-levels and our team welcomes each and every attempt at making the self-improvements when possible.

    When you are ready to include the votes of the whole, when you are ready to bring decision-items before the team and to respect and buy-in to the decisions of the team, even while operating at sub-atomic levels of participation, then you may sign up and join our team. When the team wins, everyone wins, and so state rules which regulate the team’s ballot access are no problem.
