Michael Peroutka, the Constitution Party’s presidential nominee in 2004, recently was the guest speaker at a Republican Party Club in his home state of Maryland, according to this news story. Peroutka was also the vice-presidential nominee in 2008 of the Montana Constitution Party. The Montana Constitution Party listed Ron Paul for president in the November 2008 election, with Peroutka as the vice-presidential nominee. That ticket received 2.17% of the Montana presidential vote, even though Paul did not desire to be on the Montana ballot and was nominated against his own wishes.
The Montana Secretary of State’s omnibus election law bill, HB 91, which has already passed the House, provides that presidential candidates may withdraw their names from the November ballot. This provision was placed in the bill so that a repeat of what happened in 2008 will not recur.

How many zillion database variables are now involved in election law stuff ??? — especially regarding ballot access.
Hmmm, interesting considering that Michael Peroutka does not seem to even be involved with the Maryland Constitution Party: http://www.constitutionpartymd.com
Hopefully he is no longer denouncing it as he was several years ago on his radio show. Wonder what he is strategizing?
Wonder if he’s supporting the ‘Christian Liberty Party’?
The bill just provides a date and some language. The trouble is that the MT SOS has some latitude for getting for elector forms in and the CPMT waited until the last minute to get those forms in, just in case problems like this would come up. We will see more of this bill in 2013 as someone who has nothing to do will decide to change more language that does not make a difference.
