RICHARD, ARE QUALIFYING FEES IN PARTY PRIMARIES UNCONSTITUTIONAL? ALSO IS THERE A LEGAL WAY AROUND THEM?
The US Supreme Court ruled unanimously in 1972, and again in 1974, that mandatory filing fees for candidates are unconstitutional if there is no alternative, at least for poor candidates.
If the qualifying fees are unconstitutional, how do you get on teh primry ballot without paying the fee?
