  1. Yet another chance to get EQUAL ballot access via 14-1 EPC —

    IF, repeat IF, the lawyers have ANY 14-1 brain cells.


    Separate is NOT equal. Brown v Bd of Ed. 1954 — now a mere 65 years ago.

    Each election is NEW.

    EQUAL ballot access tests.

    MUST be in original Complaint / brief — too late on appeals.

  2. Equal ballot access laws is no laws at all. The voters can write-in any candidate they please for any office. All quotas are ballot censorship no matter how small the quota financially.
    What if you have to pay a government monopoly to use any words in the dictionary even if the rate was one dollar per hundred thousand words?

  3. DFR –

    Utopia — blank ballots – decipher write-ins — *intent* guesses for any complex name

    vs

    Reality — limited size ballots with some names of candidates- scanner vote counts

  4. Voters have the right to write illegibly without seeking assistance and take the consequences. Limiting the number of names printed on a ballot is rationing opinion and all such rationing is biased discrimination. Why the fear of having voters express their genuine opinions?
