Congressman Ron Paul of Texas, the only member of Congress who has been willing to introduce legislation outlawing restrictive ballot access laws in the past 10 years, was easily re-nominated in the Republican primary on March 7. He polled 77.7% of the vote; his opponent, Cynthia Sinatra (daughter-in-law of the famous singer) got 22.3%. Sinatra based her campaign on support for President Bush’s Iraq policy, which Paul opposes. Paul is 70 and was the Libertarian Party nominee for president in 1988.
