The Libertarian Party of Ohio is the first party to use the ballot access procedures for newly-qualifying parties that the legislature passed in 2013. The party had first met the July 3, 2018 deadline for the party petition. That petition required 54,965 valid signatures, and was found to be valid.
Then, the law said by July 19, any candidate who wanted a Libertarian nomination was required to submit a petition of 50 signatures for statewide office, or five signatures for other office. Twenty Libertarians submitted such petitions. In no instance did more than a single Libertarian for any particular office submit a candidate petition, so all of them are now deemed nominated and will appear on the November ballot. If two Libertarians had submitted a candidate petition for the same office, then the law permitted the state party officers to choose the actual nominee, and the other person would not appear on the ballot.
The offices being sought are U.S. Senate, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Auditor, Secretary of State, four US House seats (districts 5, 10, 14, and 15), one State Senate seat, seven State House seats, and three partisan county offices.
The Green Party is also on the ballot, but it is not a newly-qualifying party, so it nominated this year by primary in May.
One of the paradoxes of the 2013 law is that newly-qualifying parties can choose candidates who emerge as late as July. Yet the independent candidate petition law requires that all non-presidential independents must submit petitions by the day before the May primary (the primary is in May in midterm years and March in presidential years). In 2005 the Sixth Circuit had upheld the independent candidate deadline on the grounds that it wouldn’t be fair if independents could decide to run for office later than the date parties nominated candidates. That decision was Lawrence v Blackwell, 430 F.3d 368. It now appears to be obsolete.
The very early filing deadline for independents is not fair.
More separate and UN-equal stuff.
New/Minor party and independent candidates can NOT expect to get on ballots easier than the candidates of the old rotted so-called major parties — aka Donkeys and Elephants.
IE EQUAL ballot access tests.
Mere 50 years of MORON ballot access cases since 1968 Williams v Rhodes in SCOTUS — from Ohio.
The Libertarian One for President team have talked about the proposal.
The proposal would be to replace the word “parliament” with the words “World PPR Reform Group”.
We shall drop “USA” from the Demo Rep suggestion “USA/World PPR (PPR=pure proportional representation) Reform Group” so not to sound exclusive to USA.
I just got off the phone with Mark Herd [Libertarian] for President and he approved and said: “When you’re through changing, you’re through.”
We are going through changes and so we have no way to predict the next step. But will keep you abreast with anymore developments with the new World PPR Reform Group phrase that Demo Rep coined.
Sign up for the One Party now and help by being a voter on the One Party team. You have the liberty to self categorise as you wish, need not proclaim self-categorisation with One Party to be on world One Party.
Respectfully,
James Ogle (The one Libertarian who won the Missouri primary in 2012 when Gary Johnson was on the ballot as Republican but the party bosses don’t want you to know that our team of mixed gender candidates won the ONLY state primary that fell before the national LP convention. The Libertarian won.
I am the one promoting us men uniting behind our opposite gender, with consecutively alternating genders thereafter, whom the party bosses blocked, deleted from national LP site, facebook page, IPR and Ballot Access News. We want equal time and equal treatment but the party bosses were opposed. So now I am categorised as One Party on Herd’s ticket. We’re looking for our opposite gender for President and we’ll happily serve as VP.

Hmmm-
At least the *team* has 2 members ??? — NOT a monarchy ??? — just a mere oligarchy ???
How have regime name changes happened for thousands of years ???
Who named the first *nation-state* regime ???
What is the oldest surviving boundary between nation-states ???
How many zillion changes in such boundaries — due to wars, mergers, etc. ??? —
not even wiki could keep up to date ???
History note —
parliament derivation — from French verb —
parle – to talk
as in — Parlez vous Francais ?
Do you speak [talk] French ?
Those are great questions but let’s keep the conversation on our team.
Our team is in transition of owners to be completed before October 8th, a transition from five owners to ten owners.
But it’s more complex than that, with a majority coalition of four on USA Parliament and five on International Parliament, who wrote and approved the prospective guidelines.
We are trying to expand these numbers but being small is fair and we’re still getting a lot done on a small scale.
10th USA Parliament
http://www.usparliament.org
The statute requires the Libertarian Party to certify its candidates. While it forbids the party from certifying more than one candidate for any office, it does not require that they certify any candidate.
Your use of “deemed” implies that it a matter of law, with no discretion.
I could find nothing that indicates that the party has certified anyone as yet (they have until 75 days before the election). Perhaps the SOS and county board elections have notified the party which candidates submitted petitions.
To clarify, the owners of our group own the 51% of the parliament’s store shares and they are subject to votes of confidence 24×7.
When one of the ten executives/owners are unelected by votes of confidence then the former exec does not take any of the 51% of the never-to-be-sold shares with them, and only currently elected execs retain 51% ownership.
There is some opposition from at least one person who does not want the word parliament removed because we will hold offices in their proposed towers in NY near UN building and in Republic of Ireland. Ireland uses PR for their government so it is a favorable country for our offices.
Many reformists at the UN support PPR and some of our key members are employed at UN.
Ireland and Malta might be the only countries using PPR from one report I read somewhere.
So far only Mark Herd and Hassan Chowdhurry have responded to the name change away from parliament.
Such a change will require the vote by our majority coalition before the name change would be implemented.

Basic P.R. —
Party Members = Party Votes x Total Members / Total Votes
NOTE the TM/TV fraction = 1/N
Thus PM = PV / N
— difficult ONLY for math morons who failed pre-school- 3rd grade math
—
NO party lists — Voter nominating petitions or filing fees
NO *parliamentary* regimes = same hacks having legislative and executive powers.
LOTS of defective regimes — to be repaired / rebuilt.

PR and AppV
Wikipedia had it wrong.
Party list and mixed member proportional are not proportional representation.
They are ways the party bosses insert bias and the math is ruined.
The United Coalition had been using pure proportional representation correctly for twenty-three consecutive yeard but Google and the party bosses don’t want you to know.
Igor Chudov [Libettarian], owner of the site http://www.algebra.com, and many others were working together under PPR since 1995.
Google joined our conversation in October of 1997.
Cameron Spitzer of the Green Party wanted to make sure that the Libertarian Party didn’t succeed so he cut deals with Google founder Sergie Brin a few weeks after Google got their name from my logo/initials joogle.
I was flattered by Brin and nobody knew they’d be so succussful.
History Notes About The United Coalition History
By James Ogle [One]
When I first saw Tim Grady [Environmentalist] and Clint Eastwood [Republican]
debate, it was in the 1986 Carmel California mayorial election.
Tim outperformed Clint yet the news media reporting was biased.
Clint campaign manager was Sue Hutchinson, who had just worked on the victorious
Ronald Reagan campaign for President in 1984.
The United Coalition team first vied for and election of team players in Santa Cruz,
California election of 1992 four candidates; James Ogle [Environmentalist],
Kevin Clark [Green], Abdul Hassan [Peace and Freedom] and Linda Lemaster [Democratic].
Kevin Clark [Green] and James Ogle [Environmentalist] both teamed up again and vied
for Chief of Staff Leon Panetta’s [Democratic] vacated Congressional seat in 1993,
(CA CD 17) and Clark was the first Green Party candidate to access the ballot in California
partisan politics.
Ogle’s party name (Environmentalist) was categorized on the ballot as an “independent”
because the State doesn’t want you to know about the Environmentalist Party.
The California Green Party bosses didn’t want anyone to know about the United Coalition
and so they promoted “none of the above” (NOTA) in 1994 against the United Coalition.
James Ogle and the United Coalition are correct. They are bringing
pure proportional representation (PPR) to every voter’s pamphlet with the campaign
of James Ogle (Green) for CA Governor, who had switched from Environmentalist
to Green Party, and which unified more voters around the world in the 1992 to 1994
Usenet campaigns, in the world wide web in a computer language DAS/English.
More than 125 President of the United States (POTUS) candidates were nominated by the team
in 1995 on Usenet, and James Ogle was one who also correctly filed his campaign, with the
Federal Elections Commission (FEC) and categorized as “Free Parliamentary Party”.
That campaign continued in 1996 when Ralph Nader agreed to be on our team
and ran for POTUS himself.
In 1997 Google (then known as “backrub.com”) derived their name from our team in
October of 1997 but their founder Sergie Brin doesn’t want you to know:
http://usparliament.org/how-google-got-its-name.php
Google, the California Green Party and the national Libertarian Party (LP) have
viciously opposed the United Coalition. Despite the fact that the party
bosses of the CA State Green Party and the national Libertarian Party
censored our 2012 POTUS campaigns by bullying and de-linking the sites from the
national sites, our POTUS candidate in 2012 James Ogle won the only primary (MO).
A 52.7% victory while attaining the votes with the unifying
message of PPR, yet we were denied speaking before the convention’s attendees by
the rules, by those in charge.
