Jo Jorgensen Files Ballot Access Case in Maine — 62 Comments

  1. She is likely filing this case because they don’t think she has enough valid petition signatures to qualify for the ballot. I know they turned in more than the 4,000 required, but the election clerks there check every signature, and they don’t think they turned in enough padding to survive the validity check. If the LP fails in Maine, a lot of it will be their own fault. I urged them to start the petition in Maine in June, and I was ignored. They did not start until around July 7th or 8th, or maybe it was 12th or 13th, or something like that. They have to turn in signatures to all the cities and towns, and they are checked by the election clerks at that level, and then they have to be picked up and submitted to the Secretary of State. The deadline was August 1st. They started too late, and they also should have paid a higher rate than what they paid. They could have made it if they had followed my advice.

  2. Maine doesn’t permit stand-ins for president, so it was impossible to start before the end of May. And after that, the party hoped that its earlier lawsuit, to be reinstated as a qualified party, would win.

  3. Richard, I knew about the no stand in candidates. The LP should have started this petition in June.

  4. The party finances were screwed, the national committee was too busy fighting over the convention, the state party was pinning its hopes on its last lawsuit, and the campaign was unprepared to win the nomination and in a reorganizing stage. Woulda coulda should. Now it’ll be up to another lawsuit.

  5. “All Andy Lives Matter” sounds a lot likw Paul. Why does he continually post under fake names when he’s already been outed here and we already know it is him? Getting paid to troll? Mental illness? Or what?

  6. “Getting paid to troll? Mental illness? Or what?”

    Either mental illness or he’s working for the Chinese government.

  7. All Andy lives matter sounds a lot like Andy trying to sound like Paul or maybe Nathan Norman aka Egyptian dud trying to sound like Paul or maybe Nathan Norman aka Egyptian dud trying to sound like Andy or trying to sound like Andy trying to sound like Paul. Or maybe it’s Andy trying to sound like Nathan Norman aka Egyptian pud trying to sound like Paul. Or maybe it’s someone else entirely and the sound is your own imagination. Who knows? Who cares?

    Jo is not a Marxist and not even remotely close. I am not Andy or Paul or Egyptian pud puller. Demo Rep, trolling under a fake name, calling for banning trolls using fake names is funny. Other trolls also using fake names being obsessed with demo reps supposed real name and calling for him to be banned, equally funny, or pathetic. Take your pick.

    Will jo be on the ballot in Maine? Pa? We don’t know yet. It’s not yet determined. Are some people here mentally ill or paid to troll or posting under multiple names? Maybe. If so it’s probably the ones accusing others of what they themselves are doing.

    Queue Andy, Robert milnes and or Egyptian pud puller, if they are not all the same person, telling each other I’m this Paul. Paul who?

  8. Over the years I have visited IPR. I keep hoping that people will say Hey Bob. Paulie is gone. You are welcome back. BTW we are sorry we let you get banned. And BTW we miss you. And BTW PLAS sounds interesting. Tell us more about it. BTW, do you have any other interesting ideas?
    But no. paulie is still there.

  9. Is anyone picking up on your plas idea here? Making any headway? Maybe your problem is not whatever site you did or did not get banned from?

  10. Over the years I have written about gold mining and my gold mining friend with the high I.Q. there in CA. The one who got Acute Disseminating Encephalomylitis. ADEM. His doctor was Amy Solomon of Boulder Creek, CA. Well that is how I met him. I went to CA to try my luck. The top bum at the North Fork bum diggings at Colfax told me, you need a dredge. Panning alone is way too little. So I saw this ad posted on a bulletin board Dredge for Sale. Turns out this guy was a tapped out drug addict selling his dredge and associated equipment. So I bought it. The Top bum named Howie-a coincidence I assure you-skimmed off 100 from my end as middleman, then tried o steal the dredge by borrowing it-indefinitely. Anyway fast forward to a month ago. A guy gave my friend a pill. And a true drug addict will take any pill you give them no questions asked. He then hopped behind the wheel to drive home on a long treacherous CA road and got into an accident. He told me that this one pill was supposed to be a Xanax but was WAY stronger.
    What kind of person would give a drug addict a WAY strong pill just before he was supposed to drive home on a treacherous road? Hmmmmmmm…..

  11. So it turns out the guy who gave my friend the accidents will happen pill is the one who knows the guy who owns the gold mine my friend wants me to go in with him.
    So, after I was supposed to go to Orlando to the LP convention in 2016, which I decided to not go at the last minute-then the Pulse Club shooting occurred a few days later, I was supposed to go to this gold mine.
    I wonder if an accident could occur in a gold mine?

  12. Kind of like I was surprised to find out a mutual friend and his brother in law with an outstanding warrant was in the parking lot when I was in a bar where the guy I was with tried to kidnap the bouncer saying his 357 was for sale. That is why he whipped it out.

  13. And what in Hell was I doing with a guy who is a Viet Nam era veteran on the North Fork of the American River Wild and Scenic sluicing and panning i.e. puttering wasting time on 9/11? Nobody around for miles probably.
    He said I haven’t seen a plane all day. I said now that you mention it, neither have I.
    We did not get back until about 8pm.
    We must have been among the last to hear about it.

  14. Jorgensen supports the Marxist Black Lives Matter. She’s faking being a libertarian, just like Johnson and Weld. It’s been obvious Marxist are trying to take over the party.

  15. Fact checker,
    Yes.
    Me and high I.Q.-before he got ADEM, were dredging Duncan Creek just up the canyon from the starting place of the Star Fire.
    Fire came up the canyon quick. Nearly overran our camp.
    CFD saved our camp and not much else.
    I wrote about it on my blog.
    Also WSS put it in The Saturnalian.

  16. So Jo said “Black lives matter”? So what? it’s just a vapid, empty slogan. Today, people are so obsessed with slogans, hashtags and buzzwords, and not specific policies. Her policies are explicitly libertarian.

  17. Bravo, cody nails it . The stormfront, 4Chan, 8chan, daily stormer, r/thedonald and other alt right fash bigot racist police bootlicking trumptards really expect people to believe that libertarians are Marxists just because both believe that black lives matter? Really? How dumb do those fascist racist clowns think we are, as dumb as them? I guess so since the links were already posted proving Jorgensen is for little or no government, much reduced taxes and regulations and perhaps ultimately none, 100% 2a rights, much lower government spending and full private property rights.

    If that’s Marxist, sign me up for the revolution. These stormfront Ron Paul Alex Jones “libertarians” are orange Hindenburg fanbois flying confederate flags and iron crosses, genuflecting to trump and getting their jollies to Tom woods, Stefan molyneux, hans hoppe, Augustus invictus and Christopher the crying Nazi cantwell. They actually fully do not believe black lives matter and that’s what offends them.

    It does not matter how many times it’s been clarified jo does not support any commie group trying to leech off the much larger ideologically diverse black lives matter decentralized movement. And obviously she disagrees with communists about many issues. But Nazis pretending to be libertarians are fond of Joseph goebels Nazi big lie techniques claiming ACTUAL libertarians are commies. All while supporting their communist-fascist orange further.

  18. Didn’t an admitted communist run for LNC chair?
    Black Lives Matter is admittedly Marxist. The founders are Marxist.

  19. “Also WSS put it in The Saturnalian.”

    Who or what is WSS? An alias of some kind? Multiple people claiming to be a single person? The cyberpig? A Mossad supercomputer?

  20. I have checked into this for years.
    No one has met or talked with or even seen William S. Saturn.
    There is no picture of him on the interweb.
    Feel free to prove me wrong.

  21. paulie cannoli
    who eats too much Stromboli.
    What is going on over at IPR besides nothing for the past few days?
    Have you vacated
    and therefore my banning is vacated?

  22. The fact that Jorgensen can say “Black lives matter” and not change her libertarian positions on any issue proves that is it just a hollow slogan.

  23. Or, Jorgensen is lying and really is a Marxist. Remember when Barr and Root and Gary Johnson and Wild lied about their libertarianism? Remember, she was gone for two decades. Being libertarian in 1996 doesn’t mean you are libertarian in 2020.

  24. DO TROLLS , LIKE THE RESIDENT BAN TRUMP/PUTIN/XI TROLL OF MANY FAKE NAMES, HAVE IN ADVANCE FILL-IN-BLANK WRITING POINTS ???

    — TO SUBVERT VARIOUS WEB-SITES WITH THEIR JUNK TROLL POSTS — GETTING ALSO MORE JUNK RESPONSES FROM TROLL GANGSTERS.

    SAMPLE – THIS TROLL THREAD.

    CANDIDATE NAME – INSERT FAKE ADJECTIVE.

  25. Marxist, you are lying. Yes, a communist who is no longer in the l.p. Ran for chair in 2018 and got booed and almost zero votes. And there is a small group which calls itself blm which is commie. There’s also a much larger blm which is not an organized group and not commie, and includes libertarians including Jorgensen. That doesn’t make her a Marxist. She repeatedly said she has not endorsed any Marxist group. This has been pointed out many times. Her platform and issue stances are linked. They are not anywhere close to Marxist. You are a liar and fascist trash, or cash for short. You keep repeating your fash lies in thread after thread. You’ve posted explicitly racist and bigoted views. You are fash, repeating fash lies.

  26. What did I say that was racist or bigoted? Perhaps if you had any brain cells, you would see several people are posting here.

    BLM IS Marxist. The founders are Marxist. The protesters want free stuff, like Marxists want. Do a little research for once.

    The commie in the LP had enough votes to debate, didn’t he? Not all chair candidates were allowed to debate. How do we know Jorgensen wasn’t one of the votes?

  27. Black lives matter is not a hollow slogan. It’s a movement against police brutality and racism which unites everyone from Marxists to libertarians to liberals and moderates. Probably even some conservatives.

    Just like the tiny cult revolving around Lew Rockwell, Gary north, tom woods, “libertarians for trump”, Ron Paul idolaters, Alex Jones and his superfans , hoppe, molyneux, invictus, cantwell et al doesn’t speak for the much larger movement of classical liberals and libertarians although they claim they do, commies in blm claim to speak for all of us but don’t come close to doing so.

    Jorgensen is a business owner and capitalist and has explained her opinions on multiple issues in many interviews, speeches, social media posts, press releases, etc, etc. You would have to be very, very, very stupid to believe those views add up to Marxism. That or just too lazy to do any research before opining. You don’t seem to be stupid or lazy. So you are a liar who keeps repeating this lie no matter how many times it’s shown to be a lie with proof attached. Those are the tactics of a fascist or Marxist. You’ve shown yourself to also be a bigot. So you are fash, and probably yourself a Marxist racial nationalist.

  28. Not all protesters want “free stuff ” so you are lying again. I’m a blm protester, not a Marxist and don’t want free stuff. That also is true of many other protesters. If you think Jorgensens many published and recorded opinions on multiple subjects amount to Marxism at best you are the one who needs to do research. At best, because I don’t believe you are ignorant. You are intentionally lying like goebbels because you are actually a Nazi just like he was.

  29. William Saturn is Paulie. Cody quirk is Paulie. Is anyone not Paulie? You may think you’re not, but what makes you so sure?

  30. paulie’s comments here are toxic.
    Not free speech, not objective, not even humorous or entertaining anymore.
    Perhaps informed/informative, but at what price?
    paulie should be banned. But that will not happen.
    His fix is in and he knows it.

  31. I am no longer amazed when non-libertarians tell me what “real” libertarianism is, and who are the “real” libertarians.

  32. IPR-X is controlled by xaulie is a stretch.
    I do not think so.
    I KNOW The PLAS Place is not controlled by xaulie.
    I KNOW I control The PLAS Place.

  33. Prove u not xaulie. U could be. Like quirk or saturn or ipricks. Myabe all xaulie. Feh.

  34. William Saturn controls PLAS place
    William Saturn is xaulie
    xaulie controls PLAS place
    Egyptian Pud is xaulie
    Egyptian Pud controls iprx
    xaulie controls iprx prix 2

    QED

  35. Walter Ziobro,

    “I am no longer amazed when non-libertarians tell me what “real” libertarianism is, and who are the “real” libertarians.”

    I know, right? Ever since Ron Paul, Murray Rothbard and Lew Rockwell hatched the idiotic “paleo” plot to convince nationalists, racists, bigots, theocrats, and far right nuts of all sorts that they are “libertarians” starting in the late 1980s, they have been busy telling themselves and everyone else they are the only “real” libertarians, as if they were libertarians to begin with. Totally moronic and insane. It’s brought absolutely nothing but harm and disrepute to the libertarian movement and Libertarian Party. The quicker and more thoroughly the party and movements cuts out this metastasizing malignant cancer, the better the chances the patient may survive and still yet thrive.

  36. LOL! Same line of propaganda, different fake screen name. Now the troll above is using the name “IKR”. They should use IPR since the same theme has been spewed at that site many times before. It is AA though the troll has been given a list of talking points to use. Hmmmm. Sounds like something a poster here and at IPR would say, whose name starts with the letter P.

  37. It’s not propaganda. It just happens to be true. And your paranoia leads you to believe that one person is posting it here under many names. Yet if you look other places like facebook there are many, many people making these same points and a lot of them are verifiable real people. Maybe you are the one who has been given a list of talking points? Hmmmm. Your posts sounds like something a poster on 4chan, 8chan, daily stormer, stormfront or r/thedonald among many other places would say. Maybe coming from something with the letter Q and being hatched by the intel services of a country beginning with R.

  38. Andy, Robert Milnes and “Egyptian” “God” are probably the same person. If they are not the same person they are being programmed through Q by a country starting with R whose leader has the initials VP and they should STFU and GTFO.

  39. Any updates of Jorgensen’s status of getting on the Maine ballot? Someone on Reddit said that the 4400 number was a low ball estimate and they really don’t know the exact number of signatures submitted due to Maine’s unique, localized process. It would be great if someone could comment on this and say when Secretary Dunlap is sue to announce the decision.
