Rhode Island Senate Passes Ballot Access Bill

On June 25, the Rhode Island Senate passed SB 203. It had passed Senate Judiciary Committee earlier on the same day. As amended, it lowers the number of signatures for a new fully-qualified party from 5% of the last vote cast (currently 23,589 signatures), to exactly 10,000 signatures. The bill also permits this petition to be circulated as early as the group wishes. Thanks to Ken Block for this news.
