West Virginia Delegate Marshall Wilson has introduced HB 2753. It codifies the existing practice that lets unqualified parties use stand-in presidential and vice-presidential candidates on their petitions. It also says stand-ins can be used for gubernatorial petitions.
Stand-ins are especially useful for independent presidential candidates who haven’t chosen their vice-presidential running mate when the petition starts to circulate. Thanks to Jeff Becker for the news about the bill.
“PRACTICE* STUFF = LAWLESS/ARBITRARY — ESP IN ELECTION “LAW” — IN DARK AGE REGIMES.
WHERE IS THAT MODEL ELECTION LAW ???
There can’t be a model election law, because the various states are so different from each other. Some have registration by party, others don’t. Some have their congressional primaries as early as March; others are as late as September. Some have severe winter weather and some don’t. Some have traditions of strong political parties and others don’t.
Very Sorry — but NONSENSE.
USA election laws apply to ALL States — esp the Nov election DAY.
ONE election Day. NO primaries, caucuses, conventions.
EQUAL ballot access law – nominating petitions / filing fees.
SMASH the UNEQUAL election law stuff to bits in such Model Election LAW.
N/S hemisphere — ELECTION day — perhaps Sep 15 — fall north, spring south.
PR and AppV
ALSO – SEE THE 2002 USA HAVA LAW
— FORCED THE SUPER-MORONS IN THE 2000 BUSH V GORE FL REGIME [AND OTHER REGIMES] TO WIPE OUT THE OLDE PUNCH CARD BALLOTS
— IE- TO HAVE A DEFINITION OF A *LEGAL* VOTE IN ALL REGIMES.
THE PENDING HR 1 BILL WILL PUT MORE FED PRESSURE ON THE MORONS IN ALL STATE REGIMES
— [IF ENACTED – VERY SLIGHT CHANCE DUE TO THE MORON PREZ ALWAYS SCHEMING BRAIN].
I like the national standards being set by Electoral College.
For example, one Elector, represents less that 1/5th of 2% (.18%) and that’s a number we should be using everywhere.
Typo, meant 1/5th of 1%, my apologies.
Every Prez since 1832 has been de facto elected by about 28-30 pct of the popular votes in the EVIL ROTTED DARK AGE *electoral college* —
one of the 3 USA ANTI-Democracy oligarch gerrymander systems.
It shows – American Indians genocide to 1890, undeclared wars, pending USA bankruptcy, etc.
