According to this story, the Legal Marijuana Now Party, the only ballot-qualified third party in Minnesota, may change its name. The budget bill passed earlier this month raised the vote test from 5% to 8%, but that change doesn’t take effect until after the November 2024 election, so the party is on the ballot for 2024.
Minnesota law explicitly lets qualified parties change their name. Many other states have allowed qualified parties to change their name, but in most states, there is no law on that subject, and election officials issue administrative rulings on that question when it arises.
HOW DO ARTIFICIAL *PERSONS* CHANGE NAMES ???
BIZ, ETC.
SEE ASSUMED NAME LAWS – IN ALL REGIMES ???
LOOK AT ME! I’M LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS. I JUST COMPLAIN.
Won’t be changing name, if they do, until after ’24 elections, under LMN party rules.
Will they change it to Marijuana Now Legal Party?
How about Autonomy Now Party?
What percentage of the voting public is familiar with that word at all, much less what it represents as a political party stance? Is that, in fact, their political philosophy?
1776 REVOLUTIONARY WAR PARTY ???
ANTI-TYRANTS PARTY ???
Wouldn’t seem to match their platform. Besides which, marijuana makes people stupid, lazy, and complacent, which is great for tyranny and terrible for anti-tyranny revolutionaries.
