The California independent presidential petition in 2020 will be 196,964 valid signatures, to be collected in 105 days, unless the Ninth Circuit strikes down the law in De La Fuente v Padilla, 17-56668. The requirement is 1% of the number of registered voters as of the close of registration for the November 2018 election.
No other state has ever required so many signatures for an independent presidential candidate in U.S. history. However, before 1969, Ohio had no procedures for an independent presidential candidate to get on the ballot.
One more SEPARATE IS NOT EQUAL case.
Brown v Bd of Ed 1954
Each election is NEW.
EQUAL ballot access tests for ALL individual candidates for the SAME office in the SAME election area.
ANY so-called lawyers / JUDGES with ANY brain cells ???
14-1 is NOT atomic physics.
California should adopt Top 2 for presidential electors.
53 electors could be elected by congressional district and two by pairs of SBOE districts. Elector candidates could list a presidential preference in addition to a party preference.
Yeah sure — 53 more minority rule gerrymander districts for Prez elections
— why not 435+100+3 = 538 gerrymander districts ???
For math MORONS (too many to count) —
1/2 or less votes x 1/2 rigged gerrymander districts = 1/4 or less CONTROL = OLIGARCHY
— more oppression, death and destruction — more of the 6,000 plus years of oligarchs at work.
Each alleged monarch is the chief oligarch of an oligarch bunch of gangsters —
even top MONSTERS like Lenin, Stalin. Hitler, Mao, Saddam, Castro, etc. require lots of help
— from the mindless morons under the orders of the MONSTER
— aka a DEVIL-[expletive deleted] from Hell.
—
How many of the usual suspect TV mindless MORONS on 2018 election night would love to be killers/enslavers under a DEVIL-[expletive deleted] ???
The insane Williams v Rhodes in SCOTUS in insane 1968 (Vietnam WAR MADNESS) — from Ohio.
50 years of more SCOTUS INSANE JUNK UNEQUAL ballot access cases.
Maybe a good angle to take to reduce signature requirements is the number of trees that will be cut down to print the paper required for said signatures???
Any GREEN *independents* running [yet] ???
How many dead trees for Democracy ballots ???
Back to marked stones ???
See old Greece elections — recycled stones.
