Delaware House Passes Bill, Forbidding Parties from Nominating a Non-Member

On January 25, the Delaware House passed HB 11, which makes it illegal for any party to nominate someone who is not a registered member of that party (although the bill exempts Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates). The motivation for the bill is to make it impossible for two parties to jointly nominate the same person, but the bill goes further than that. See this story.

  1. Any blood oaths and/or DNA tests needed to show 666 loyalty to the party hack gang involved ???

    If not now, then when ???

    P.R. and App.V. = NO party hack nomination stuff.

  2. I wonder if Rep. Earl Jaques, D-Glasgow has ever considered the right of a party to nominate whomever it wishes – whether that person is a member of the party or not? After all, isn’t that what the concept of “free elections” is about in the United States? Nominate, support and vote for whomever you desire – regardless of their party affiliation or the lack of it.
