The bill to ease the definition of “political party” has been introduced in the Arkansas legislature. It is HB 1247, sponsored by Representative Richard Carroll (Green-North Little Rock) and Senator Mary Anne Salmon (D-North Little Rock). The bill changes the vote test from President/Governor, to any statewide race. It also says when a party meets the vote test, it is automatically qualified for the next two elections.
Sweet, thank God for the Green Party getting in SOMEWHERE. Richard Carroll is my hero.
Two greatest words in the English language: de-fault! de-fault!
Way to go Richard!!
It’s Great to see Richard Carroll and the Greens doing something in Arkansas, a state which has long been a virtual waste land for third parties. Arkansas is the only state in the U.S. in which the Libertarian Party has never had a candidate on the ballot for any partisan office other than president.
