District of Columbia Lowers Presidential Petition This Year Only From 5,007 to 250

On August 6, the Mayor of Washington, D.C., signed bill B23-0864. For 2020 only, it lowers the presidential petition from 5,007 signatures to 250 signatures.

The petition deadline was August 5. As far as is known, the only presidential petitions submitted were for Gloria La Riva and Brock Pierce. The District has four ballot-qualified parties: Democratic, Republican, Green, and Libertarian.

D.C. had already lowered the other district wide petitions to 250 earlier this year, but the earlier change did not include presidential petitions. La Riva filed a federal lawsuit and the city chose to settle the matter with the new legislation.

  1. Where else has Brock Pierce filed a petition, or is known to have petitioners/companies hired?

  2. That will be in the September 1 2020 print issue of Ballot Access News. It costs $18 for a one year subscription. Send a check to BAN, PO Box 470296, San Francisco Ca 94147, or use paypal or zelle. There are 12 issues per year. If you use paypal, the e-mail is richardwinger@yahoo.com

  3. Shocking- legis change —

    NOT tyrant exec orders or tyrant judic legis in junk op.

  4. It hardly seems fair that the bill was signed on the 6th when the deadline was the 5th. Could there be a challenge to have the deadline extended by a week or two?

  5. I didn’t even know you were allowed to change a deadline requirement AFTER it passed.

  6. The Mayor had asked the city council to pass the bill. The bill passed unanimously. So realistically this was known before the deadline.

  7. I’m more trying to keep track day to day and hour to hour if anyone knows in the meantime but go on make that money no hate but if anyone knows in the meantime drop a comment.

  8. Unless the story is to be sold not told LOL
    Make that money don’t let the money make you

  9. Trent pool runs the brick pierce drives, ask him. He probably won’t tell you .
