Green Party Sets 2020 Presidential Convention Dates and City — 7 Comments
Mere about 65 [repeat 65] percent population LOSS in D since 1950-1953 [end of active Korean War].
IE — lots more green stuff — zillion wiped out buildings
– many vacant lots – full of trees, bushes, weeds, grass — NO humans.
Green Party utopia — RED communist STATISM in action.
That’s gonna make petitioning damn near impossible for them in NH, unless there is a clear front-runner who can start petitioning before the convention.
Mr. Perry is correct. It is quite foolish for Green Party to schedule their National Presidential Nomination Convention at this late of a date, and this is not the first time the Green Party has done this. There are multiple states where you can’t start ballot access petitioning until you know who the candidates are, and these staes do not allow candidate substitution. Also, multiple states have petitioning deadlines in July and August, and a few are earlier. The latest petitioning deadlines are in early September, and those are just a few states (and there are fewer states with early September deadlines than there uses to be). The Greens having their convention at this late date is going to make getting on the ballot a lot more difficult for them.
Illinois law specifically authorizes stand-in candidates for unqualified party petitions. Indiana now requires more signatures for president (using the easiest method) than any other state, as a percentage of the last presidential vote cast. The Green Party needs to sue Indiana. No statewide petition in Indiana has succeeded since Pat Buchanan’s 2000 petition. The US Supreme Court has said that ballot access procedures that are so difficult they are seldom used are likely unconstitutional. That was said in both Storer v Brown, and Mandel v Bradley. The Indiana petition was upheld by the 7th circuit in 1984, but that was when the 2% was only one year old and there hadn’t been much experience with it. Now we have plenty of experience with that law. Indiana is the only state in which Ralph Nader never got on the ballot in his presidential runs, that has not since then improved its ballot access laws.
Howie Hawkins is already working on ballot access efforts.
The convention in Detroit immediately precedes the Democratic convention, rivaling the Democrat’s choice of location (in the north west rust belt).
In 2016, the convention was August 4-7. States without ballot access were Nevada, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. H20 campaign is already working on Nevada and South Dakota. Write-In states were Georgia, Indiana, and North Carolina. The Green Party already has ballot access in North Carolina.
H20 campaign is on course to qualify for matching funds by the end of 2019.

and the ballot access map for the Green Party in 2020: https://www.gp.org/ballot_access
It looks like they may have trouble in: Illinois, Indiana, as well as New Hampshire which was mentioned above
Greens also have USELESS ballot access lawyers —
who are brain dead ignorant about 14-1 EQUAL ???
