On April 25, the California Senate unanimously passed SB 505. It makes it more difficult for a candidate to get on a presidential primary ballot. Current law lets the Secretary of State decide whom to place, but he must place any candidate who is “generally recognized.”
The bill says candidates must satisfy two of these criteria:
(1) qualified to receive primary season matching fund
(2) has participated in a debate hosted by a political party that is qualified to participate in a primary election
(3) on the presidential primary or caucus ballot of another state
(4) the party wants the candidate on the ballot, and he or she must have a campaign office in the state.
ANNOUNCEMENT
By James Ogle [One] for President
The Environmentalist and Libertarian Parties have been collaborating with each other since the “US Parliament Election of 1995” and the unity phenomena is sweeping the world despite the party bosses who block our team year after year and 2019 is no exception.
Our team brings the correct math for the pure proportional representation (PPR) Electoral College and the future is wide open with representative democracy in 2019.
Men, we have our work cut out for us, so if we keep our nose to the ground and do our jobs correctly without he self aggrandizement that the harms team moral, not only will we bring the best President and Vice President candidates to vie in 2020, but one of the two might be women and then we’ll make history in politics and change everything forever.
Our team has been bringing the correct math since 1992 and when the founders of Google launched off our backs in 1997 it actually brought the perfect place to start to bring our team with the name recognition on every cell phone and computer in the world.
Our 538-member PPR Elector College welcomes all names but the free market to Electors doesn’t guarantee that just anyone will have a vote on our team.
Start by signing up now and on 1/1/2020 your name might earn the votes to be part of the new PPR Electoral College and to bring the direction forward while we revolutionize all politics.

Richard:
1) I assume that this bill does not in any way affect the ability of parties to count any & all write-in votes in the Presidential primary of any party. 2) Will there be a mechanism for a candidate to indicate disapproval of being listed on the Presidential primary of a qualified party? 3) Does the proposed debate requirement require it to be held somewhere in California? 4) Hasn’t the ability for a candidate to qualify for matching funds been made harder since 2016, AND with the primary now being held in early March, WHAT relief would a candidate have available to their being listed on the ballot IF they qualify for primary season matching funds after the State started printing up the primary ballots? Enough for now?
Write-ins would still be allowed in the California presidential primaries. No candidate will be placed on a California presidential primary unless he or she applies to be on. The law does not say the debate must be held in California. The requirements for primary season matching funds have not changed recently, although HR 1 passed the US House and it does make it far more difficult; but that bill has no chance in the US Senate.
So option 2 says “has participated in a debate hosted by a political party that is qualified to participate in a primary election” It doesn’t specify that it has to be the same party the person is running under. So a DEM candidate could participate in an open debate put on by the green party and would still satisfy that requirement.
