Arkansas Libertarian Party Starts to Circulate Petition for Qualified Status — 8 Comments

  1. Requiring ballot access petition signatures is vindictive political hazing by the duopoly parties. Taking pride in compliance is not praiseworthy in a one advocating the non-aggression principle. Pleading ignorance of the evil is long past.

  2. Voting access should be by having a party precinct captain who lives in the precinct and shows up in person to lead his men on the night of the vote. Voting should be by party, standing count .

  3. WHAT PRECINCT HAS THE LARGEST AREA IN THE USA —

    IN AK ??? MT ??? TX ??

    WHAT PRECINCT HAS THE SMALLEST AREA IN THE USA ???– [DUE TO GERRYMANDER LINES – FED/STATE/LOCAL]

    IN NY CITY [PART OF A BLDG] , LA CITY ???

  4. I envision precincts of several hundred voters, and perhaps several hundred thousand human beings when you add in women, children, servants, non-Whites, those whose families have not owned property in the precinct for several generations, and others who would not be qualified to vote. In sparsely populated areas there may be only tens of qualified voters (noble knights) in a precinct, and perhaps tens of thousands of non-voting individuals. A precinct should be physically small enough to require at most missing one day of work to vote. I would guess that roughly 0.1% of the census population would meet all the voting requirements, roughly speaking.

  5. Frank D. Robinson, our present choices are either comply with the law or don’t have qny candidates on the ballot.

    Note that some states require petition signatures for Democratic and Republican party candidates to appear on primary ballots.

  6. Compliance is only one of the ways to deal with a dysfunctional system.

  7. Kudos to Bill Redpath on his efforts. He has long been a strong and active Libertarian Party member.

  8. Libertarians get some things right, but the things they get wrong unfortunately outweigh those.
