On June 26, U.S. District Court Judge Morrison C. England, a Bush Jr. appointee, refused injunctive relief to the Common Sense Party, which had been trying to qualify as a new party in California using the registration membership alternative. That requires approximately 68,000 party members by July 3, for a party that just wants to participate in the presidential election. The Common Sense Party v Padilla, e.d., 2:20cv-01091.
Here is the 17-page order, which says that the party could have been gaining registrations via e-mail and postal mail, so the health crisis should not have been fatal to the party’s registration drive. The party has appealed to the Ninth Circuit, case number 20-71888.
Trying to get people to register to vote under a new or minor party, or even a major party, banner, is unrealistic and difficult.
PR >>> multi-parties and APPV
TOTSOP
I meant to add “through the mail” to my above statement. It is not easy to convince somebody to do it in person. and is much harder via mail.
More judic non-sense-
MUST collect X pct sigs per day/second ???
IE have $$$ in advance ???
The party name is misleading.
If the party had a lick of common sense they would realize that there is no rational reason to demand 10’s of thousands of registered voters in order for a candidate to express their preference for the Common Sense Party next to their name on the ballot.
They should revive the Soltysik litigation.
Yeah they definitely lack common sense. Lol
