The California Secretary of State has released a tentative list of candidates for governor in the September 14 recall election. The Socialist Workers Party candidate, Dennis Richter, appears at the top of the list. Order of candidates was determined by a random drawing of letters of the alphabet, and “R” placed first. However, on the ballot itself (as opposed to the Voter Information Guide), the names of candidates are rotated by Assembly district.
The tentative copy of the Voter Information Guide, which is postally mailed to every registered voter who has not opted out of receiving the booklet, can be seen here. The instructions for candidates say, “Please list your political party preference as it is reflected on your current affidavit of registration. If you are not registered with a qualified political party, your political party preference will be indicated in the Voter Information Guide as ‘no qualified party preference’.”
Candidates are free to buy space in the Guide for a campaign statement. Minor party members who bought space for a statement are Jeffrey Hewitt, the Libertarian; both Greens, Heather Collins and Dan Kapelovitz; Michael Loebs of the California National Party; James G. Hanink of the American Solidarity Party; and Dennis Richter of the Socialist Workers Party.
Cost per recall pamphlet ???
More dead trees ???
I don’t get it. The American Independent Party has their statement of principles listed, but they aren’t fielding a candidate?
More dead trees, says the guy who wants all vote by mail everywhere?
AIP is supporting Republican Party candidate Larry Elder, who may or may not have made the ballot.
Demo Rep did indeed say that. What a hypocritical retard.
Shut up, Will Klatt.
ENVIRONMENT COST OF IN PERSON VOTING VS MAIL VOTING ???
IE HOW MANY FOLKS WALK TO/FROM POLLING PLACES ANY MORE – PAST BURN/LOOT/MURDER GANGS ???
ALL BALLOTS GET RE-CYCLED ??? — INTO OTHER PAPER FORMS ???
ATTENTION MORONS –
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BALLOT/RETURN ENVELOPE AND A ZILLION PAGE PAMPHLET.
The pamphlet is a good idea. It helps educate voters.
Whatever the environmental impacts of voting, whether in person or by mail, they are negligible compared to many other normal human activities, livestock methane, volcanoes, or any number of other things. The issue with mail ballots is more the likelihood of vote fraud, not dead trees.
How many govt databases about who lives where ???
—
MAJOR database mess about who is a USA citizen —
via USA natural born / naturalized Citizen fathers —
vs foreign fathers.
—
Place of birth means ZERO — regardless of SCOTUS morons.
With an all write-in ballot like the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot no names, no rotation rules.
I am not a supporter of the SWP; but, good for them for catching a break. In elections, the first name appearing on the election ballot has an extra 10% advantage.
Did “The Sage From South Central,” Larry Elder, qualify for the ballot?
Ballots
half A-Z
half Z-A
The Nazis were the national SOCIALIST German WORKERS PARTY. Mentioned in a mother thread earlier tonite.
The SWP candidate will be the first candidate listed in two Assembly districts. The six ballot qualified parties each have a 200 word statement in the Voter Information Guide. SWP is not a ballot qualified party in California. Larry Elder did not qualify for the ballot. He just did not get his act together and now wants to have an exception that others did not get.
He had his act together. He’s being kept off illegally by commie dims. They know he would be governor if they didn’t. It’s so Byzantine how they tripped him up, it’s literally like how Blacks were kept from voting by having to guess exactly how many jellybeans in a big jar, bubbles in a bar of soap, etc.
