Michigan election officials have determined that the Working Class Party petition has enough valid signatures. The law requires 31,566. The group submitted 50,025. The Secretary of State’s office did a random sample and estimates that the petition has 38,974 valid. The party has two candidates for U.S. House, and one for State Board of Education.
The other qualified parties in Michigan are Constitution, Democratic, Green, Libertarian, Natural Law, and Republican. Thanks to Thomas Jones for this news.
I do not see the list of candidates running on Michigan’s SOS website. Who are they, and which House races?

Or the now-official (and cluttered up with most of the Ds and Rs now, too) state list of candidates:

The WCP’s focus on Detroit is shown by their candidates in US House Districts 12 and 13. For the statewide race that could keep them on the ballot, they have one candidate running for State Board of Education (who would need to get at least 16,491 votes).
