“Electionline” is a daily news collector, run by the prestigious Pew Center on the States. The purpose of “Electionline” is to gather significant daily news about election administration.
Electionline for February 22 includes the story from Independent Political Report about Christina Tobin’s announcing her candidacy for California Secretary of State. Congratulations both to Independent Political Report and to the Tobin campaign. I have been reading “Electionline” for years, ever since it started, and I do not believe that Electionline has ever before included news about a minor party or independent candidacy announcement. Electionline is not a politics site; it is an election administration site. Here is the Independent Political Report story, which is the same story that Electionline linked to. And, here is the “table of contents” for Electionline for February 22.
Unlike the revolving door of Democans and Republicrats: Ms Tobin should be a fair and balanced officer of the people!
If Proposition 14 passes, the signature requirement for all statewide candidates, independent or otherwise, will be 65*.
Does she think that Elections Code Section 8606 as added by SB 6 is enforceable?
*I had been stating 100, but that is actually the maximum number of signatures that may be submitted.
