On December 14, Mississippi’s Secretary of State announced that he has placed the following 8 candidates on the Democratic presidential primary ballot: Biden, Clinton, Dodd, Edwards, Gravel, Kucinich, Obama, Richardson.
He announced he has placed these 9 candidates on the Republican ballot: Giuliani, Huckabee, Hunter, Keyes, McCain, Paul, Romney, Tancredo, and Thompson.
Like most states, Mississippi law provides that candidates who are mentioned in the news media should automatically be put on the ballot. They need not even file. Anyone who is left off is free to also qualify by petition.
Wow! What a sensible policy! Mississippi must be a great place to live if all of it’s rules are this sensible!
Mississippi’s presidential primaries will be held on March 11, before which time both major party races will very likely be decided.
The Magnolia State is indeed a great place to live, Louis.
