On March 8, the Missouri House Rules Committee passed HB 1060, which, among other things, raises the presidential primary filing fee from $1,000 to $10,000. It provides for a petition in lieu of the filing fee of 5,000 signatures, but only for candidates who swear they can’t afford the filing fee.
Why not just abolish the primary since it’s a beauty contest anyways?
The state of Misery, ‘for ward to the 18th Century!’
