On August 29, the Pennsylvania Constitution Party asked a U.S. District Court to put its statewide nominees on the ballot. The party needed 24,666 signatures by August 1. It turned in about 23,000 on the deadline, and another 8,000 a few weeks later. Therefore, the party is asking the court to set aside the August 1 deadline. The case is Baldwin v Cortes, 08-1626.
The case is dependent on both Anderson v Celebrezze, and also on the point that the Pennsylvania deadline was never passed by the state legislature.
Ouch, after the Keyes Yes, Baldwin No situation in California and Texas, I wish the CP all the luck in their national [Lancaster] home state.
What should have been a tsunami of anti Dem and anti GOP feelings is whimpering to a stall.
Remember, it is the establishment, both Elephant Dung Producers and Donkey Dems whom have taken the planet’s one and only global super power to the point of being an international joke!
Actually, DonLake, Baldwin almost certainly will be on the ballot in Texas.
All of the paperwork had been filed properly, and the party has the documents to prove it. The Secretary of State misplaced the paperwork. There is as of yet no indication that the state of Texas will deny Baldwin a place on the ballto because of the state’s error.
Actually, DonLake, Baldwin almost certainly will be on the ballot in Texas.
I meant to say “will be a valid write-in candidate.”
The party needs to considering hiring professionals to properly organize it on a national level.
I believe we have seen the Peter Principle come to fruitation. This does not speak to the character of those involved or the merits of the party, but the party must be on the ballot every election.
They should have promised Ron Paul anything he wanted to put the party on the map for good.
