On July 8, the California Assembly passed SB 505. It requires presidential primary candidates to file if they want to be on a California presidential primary, and to fulfill certain fairly easy requirements. Here is the text of the bill.
Although the bill already passed the State Senate, it must return there, because the version of the bill that passed the Senate was somewhat different than the version that passed the Assembly.
Richard, I am personally in favor of this bill. I’ve never been a fan of vanity candidates even of our American Independent Party. The AIP tried to get Donal Trump on our Presidential Primary preference poll, but the SOS refused us. We can get Trump on our “Beauty Contest” primary ballot by jumping through the hoops described as long a Trump doesn’t object.
