The California Green Party has told the California Secretary of State that the party has approved Howie Hawkins and Dario Hunter for the March 2020 presidential primary ballot.
Although candidates can get on a California presidential primary ballot without party approval, it is not easy, in the case of California’s minor parties. An alternate method to get on a California minor party presidential primary is to show that the candidate is already on the presidential primary ballot of some other state. But the other states that have minor party presidential primaries tend to have later filing periods. The California requirement must be satisfied by November 26. The other states with Green Party presidential primaries don’t even let candidates file that early.
How many MORON States have the OTHER State ballot access stuff ???
The statute dates are contradictory.
The SOS must announce their selection by the 88th day before the election, but may add names up through the 68th day before the election, which would seem to indicate that the intent was to permit corrections to the original list.
But the candidate must file their proof of recognition by the 96th day.
