New York Lawsuit on Who Can Petition for Primary Candidates Reaches U.S. Supreme Court

On January 10, a group of voters and candidates filed a cert petition with the U.S. Supreme Court, in the lawsuit over who may circulate nominating petitions to get candidates on New York primary ballots. New York says no one can circulate a petition to get a candidate on a primary ballot unless the circulator is either registered in that party, or a notary public or a commissioner of deeds. The case is Maslow v Board of Elections, 11-857.

The state has already asked for a month’s extension for its response, and the Court has granted the extension. The state’s response is now due March 9.

  1. Again – nominations by SOME Electors-Voters or ALL Electors-Voters — according to PUBLIC L-A-W-S.

    Are the NY robot party hack MORONS on nonstop drugs or what ???

    i.e. how soon before the Fed courts take control of the LUNATIC NY regime ??? — even more lunatic than the CA regime on the other coast.

  2. As an Independence Party memeber and candidate, I have to go one step further. I have to call a registered party member and ask their permission to go to their home or business to get their signature on the petition. I can not get signatures on the street. To save cost, I use party members to call and I go and collect the signatures. I represent around 3,000 party members and over my 4 terms or 8 years I have met most of them.
