On April 13, the California Senate passed SB 437. It requires qualified parties to notify the state of the identity of their presidential and vice-presidential nominees by 75 days before the general election. Depending on the calendar, this would be between August 19 and August 25 of the election year. The bill says if the party hasn’t yet chosen its presidential nominee, it must identify the “apparent” nominees.
At least one of the two major parties held a presidential nominating convention on a date after the bill’s deadline, in 1996, 2004, 2008, and 2012. In 2008 and 2012, both major party national conventions were later than the bill’s deadline. But it is generally possible to know who the conventions will nominate, before the conventions actually meet.
Current California law does not set a deadline for qualified parties to identify their presidential and vice-presidential nominees.
SAME DAY FOR ALL INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATES OF ALL PARTIES / INDES ???
— OR ONE MORE EP CL VIOLATION ???
There is zero reason for a commander in chief to be chosen by civilians. The only legitimate function of a president is commander in chief of a national defense military. He should be the top general or admirals selected by the other generals and admirals and perhaps some representatives of lower ranks (or not). Good parallels are how the patriarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church and the apostate Orthodox churches are chosen, as well as how the apostate Roman church chooses its pope. Another model to consider is these military leaders choosing a civilian commander if they so wish, in the manner that a corporate board or stockholders vote might bring in an outside CEO. But in all these cases the decision-makers are clergy of a church or board or shareholders of a corporation, not complete outsiders. Likewise the military should select its commander in chief.
Perhaps the state should allow qualified parties to put up slates of unpledged electors, if they fail to specify candidates by the deadline.
The whole system of electors and candidates is wrong. The winning party should pick precinct peace officers who will combine duties of responding officers, judge, jury, and executioner.. And I’ve explained how commander in chief should be picked. We don’t need any more government than that. There should be no multiple precinct elections, multiple offices, or written law beyond one normal sized, normal spaced, normal don’t size printed page , or what all who reach maturity can be reasonably expected to memorize and understand.
All presidential candidates should file by petition by early May. There is no need for party affiliation on the ballot. They may indicate such an affiliation in their commercial advertisements.
There’s no need for ballots. Elections should be by standing count.
Last don’t at 1034 hours above should be font.
ELECTIONS = MAKING CHOICES
All election should be on the same evening every year. For example
First Tuesday of November
Or
November 7 regardless of day of week (except Saturday, as men should be well rested for church the next morning, or Sunday, as the whole day and evening should be given to rest, prayer, recreation, and reflection).
Az, false equivalent. I am making the choice to go eat supper now. It’s not an election. If we elect to have churches, families, charities etc take care of those in need, or not to allow false charity subsidized idleness be an alternative to work for the able bodied who are not dealing with some very temporary emergency, etc, we have elected to make a choice, but it’s not what most people call elections. There are also corporate, church, and other ELECTIONS, but by “elections ” here I think we generally mean only government elections.

ANY SPECIAL DICTIONARY FOR TROLLS/MORONS – ESP BULLY IDIOTS ???
I have no idea what the aztard idiot bully moron troll thingie or chatbot or whatnot is trying to communicate with that dictionary definition, much less his caustic and inappropriate coda. Max might be nuttier than a fruitcake or he maybe an extra stable super genius, but at least I have some inkling of what he’s trying to say, or trying to make us thing he’s trying to say. With azwipe there’s honestly rarely any way to tell. Most of the time it’s a weird and seemingly random mix of random crap like insults, indecipherable alphabet soup, kgb style half word jargon, fake news links, references to obscure legal cases and even more obscure game theory, dictionary definitions, broken cap locks, multiple punctuation marks, what appear to be English words arranged in ways that don’t parse in English language or any known dialect thereof, trick questions, and other things which make very little sense in some jumbled combination that usually appears to lack context.
Choices of government ruling party should be by standing count elections. Choices of commander in chief should be by military, primarily or only top ranks. Other elections take place outside of government in churches, corporations, etc. There are many choices in many aspects of life which are not elections.
English isn’t even my native language, but I went to universities in the US and UK, travelled to both among other primarily English speaking nations before and after that, have had and continue to have business clients who primarily or only speak English, talk to visitors from those nations out of curiosity all the time, participate in on line discussions based in your countries, etc. I still have difficulty in understanding what AZ is trying to get at much of the time. I don’t think either he or I are morons or retards. I think he’s just a crank who is wrapped around his own axle and consequently exceptionally poor in communicating in what I’ve no reason to believe is anything other than his own native, if not only, language.
Choices of peace officers should be by winner party. Etc. None of this is rocket science. None of it should require game theory, political pseudoscience, numbers theory, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, miscalculus, any computer programming language, etc to decipher.
Ben from WA, I’m somewhere between the two extremes of nutjob moron and stable genius. Where I am along that spectrum might vary by day, time of day, who I’m talking to, subject discussed, etc. I’m here to share and discuss ideas and hopefully learn something and maybe refine or change my views if someone makes a sufficiently compelling argument or asks the correct set of questions to persuade me. I likewise hope to persuade others, including lurkers, if I am up to the task. Shouldn’t those be the natural reasons to participate in discussions here?
California uber alles, uber alles California…
Not only that but az was on another thread today posting an arithmetic “riddle” (for preschool morons) and the solution was the police code for homicide
Is Az trying to tell us he is the Batman villain E. NIGMA also known as the riddler???
