Ever since 1962, the California Secretary of State has been issuing a book titled “Report of Registration”. Ever since 1974, it has included registration data not only for the qualified parties, but for all the political bodies. A “political body” is a group that has told the Secretary of State that it is trying to qualify by obtaining enough registrations. The purpose of including the data in the book is to help these groups know how much progress they are making.
On May 12, the California Secretary of State issued his Report of Registration as of April 8, 2016, but the book, for the first time ever, omits any data for some of the political bodies. The Secretary of State’s web page lists the parties attempting to qualify, but three of the four of them are not mentioned in this Report. Instead, the Report mentions some political bodies that had been trying to qualify by January 2016, but which failed to do so, so they are no longer political bodies. They may re-file, but they are too late to qualify for the June 2016 primary, and any filing they make now would be either for the 2016 presidential election, or for the 2018 election.
Richard Winger,
I got a call within two minutes of the posting of the Statement. I note that Dr. Don Grundmann’s “Constitution Party of California” is now of the radar. Remember on January 5, 2016, including Dr.
Don Grundmann and mom Ida Grundmann the membership number was a total of 8 in Alameda County.
I note that the American Independent Party registration is up to 474,338 from the January 5, 2016
total of 472,019 electors. The Democratic registration is also up from to 7,537,312 from 7,458,665 of
January 5, 2016. However the other parties lost.
GREEN Libertarian Peace & Freedom
93,128 117,327 73,440 04/08/2016
102,686 120,570 75,579 01/05/2016
My view the reason for the drop in Registration in the Green Party was Sanders supports went to the
Democratic Party.
I also note that the Other Parties went down from 140,775 to 103,110. I see that lose as maybe the
“Independents” did not want to be associated with Charles M. Deemer and Gary Odom’s mother. This happened before the Judgement of May 4, 2016 in the case of William “Bill” Lussenheide.
Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg, Chairman, American Independent Party of California
P.S. The “Constitution Party of California” is no more a political body.
Mark, didn’t you see my link to the California Secretary of State’s web page that says the Constitution Party is a political body?
Could it be that the Grundmann’s Deemer. Odom, and Lussenheode found an other cabel and abandon the
“Constitution Party of California?
Mark Seidenberg
I checked & 4 political bodies are attempting to qualify for the General Election, the Constitution Party among them with the princely sum of 340 registrants. All 4 have registration figures.

What did Dr. Don Grundmann do to the “Constitution Party of California”? It is not on the report for April 8, 2016.
Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg, Chairman, American Independent Party of California.
