On July 13, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 437, which requires qualified parties to notify the Secretary of State by 75 days before a presidential general election of the names of their presidential and vice-presidential nominees.
This is the type of law that is often administered in a discriminatory fashion. There have been times in some states when a major party failed to follow such a deadline, but state officials always excused these lapses. For example, in 1964, the Iowa Democratic Party forgot to certify Lyndon Johnson’s name in time, but the Secretary of State put him on the ballot anyway. Major parties have similarly sometimes missed these types of deadline in Indiana, Texas, and Florida, but always there were no consequences.
But when minor parties or independent candidates miss these deadlines, usually the state enforces the law. In 1996 the Arizona Libertarian Party missed a deadline, and the Secrertary of State refused to put Harry Browne on the ballot. But a state court reversed the action of the Secretary of State and put Browne on.
If a party is ballot qualified, but doesn’t submit the names of its Presidential and Vice-Presidential nominees in time for the printing of the ballots, then the state should simply run their slate of electors as “unpledged”

@WZ,
In California independent electors qualify as a slate of electors. Only if they all pledge to vote for the same presidential candidate does that candidate’s name appear on the ballot.
AZ is wrong, as usual.
JR–
AND IF A SLATE DOES N-O-T AGREE FOR SAME CANDIDATE,
THEN SLATE 1, SLATE 2, ETC ???
If they don’t agree, they don’t get on the ballot.
@AZ,
The code is silent.
If state officials are arbitrary and capricious in putting names on their state monopoly ballots are they as arbitrary and capricious when counting votes? Voters must have the ability to verify their ballot was duly counted. http://www.notablesoftware.com/Papers/Chaum%20Secret%20Ballot%20Receipts.pdf

ALL STATES HAVE RANDOM BATCHES OF TEST BALLOTS PUT INTO EACH COUNTING MACHINE
— BEFORE AND AFTER EACH ELECTION ???
“@WZ,
In California independent electors qualify as a slate of electors. Only if they all pledge to vote for the same presidential candidate does that candidate’s name appear on the ballot.”
Does that mean that, if the slate doesn’t pledge for any particular candidates for President or Vice-President, they still remain on the ballot as a group of unpledged electors?
Here’s any idea for the No Lables group, if they want to be really daring:
Why not put full slates of unpledged electors on the ballot everywhere, and not declare any candidates unless they actual win some electoral votes.
@WZ,
I think that section of the code is left over from when presidential elector names were on the ballot.
It describes what happens if they do name a presidential candidate.
In Texas, it is the independent presidential candidate who files, and names his VP candidate, and electors. He can replace the VP and elector candidates buy not vice versa.
I suspect that in Texas NL will try to qualify as a party.

It’s rapidly becoming worse than Detroit. Real shame what has happened to so many of America’s great cities since the great satanic revival of the mid 1960s.
Let us not forget the 2004 Election in Illinois where the Republicans played monkey business with their primary date and wound up hold it after the Illinois deadline. Bush didn’t make it on the Ballot leaving the Democrat John Kerry and Green Party Candidate Ralph Nader as the only candidates on the Ballot.
You never seen the Democrats bust their humps so hard to get a Republican on the Ballot. Illinois Governor Rod Blogoiavich convene a Midnight session of the state Legislature to retroactively push the qualification date back. Talk about a Railroad Job.
Is Blogo out of prison yet ?
Yes, and trying to get back in office as well as sue various people etc.
