On June 17, the We the People Party submitted a list of its officers in Mississippi. This is the party formed to support Robert F. Kenedy, Jr., for president. See this story.
The Mississippi law on how a new party gets on the ballot was passed in 1890, and has never changed. Parties qualify with no need for a petition. They merely identify their state officers. Back when government-printed ballots were first created, quite a few states had similar laws.
My heads in Mississippi
How many states have a “be organized” rule? I guess I could check the monthly BAN… The only other one I can think of is Vermont.
Well, good luck to the We The People party.
WTP OFFICERS ALL K FAMILY RELATIVES ???

HOW MANY FELONY PLOTS UNDERWAY ???
Why hasn’t the Mississippi ballot been cluttered with frivolous candidates befuddling ignorant voters for 134 years and destabilizing the one/two-party regime?
“A spokesperson for Secretary Michael Watson told SuperTalk Mississippi News on Tuesday morning that the We The People party […] has been informed on multiple occasions that it has not filed the proper paperwork in Mississippi.”
Huh. So have they or haven’t they filed the (correct) paperwork?
They have not.
