On February 29, the Maine Secretary of State filed her brief in Team Kennedy v Bellows, 1:24cv-52, the case on whether Robert F. Kennedy Jr. petitioners may petition at the polls on the presidential primary day, March 5. The state admits that there was no prohibition in 2020 for independent presidential candidates to petition at the polls at the presidential primary. However, it says that in reality, in 2020, there were no such independent presidential petitions circulating that early.
2020 petitions for president were circulated by Jo Jorgensen and Rocky De La Fuente, but they weren’t circulating as early as the date of the 2020 presidential primary. The state’s brief also admits that the order prohibiting Kennedy from petitioning didn’t come down until February 12, after some town clerks had already given permission.
If Kennedy does not win this case, his petitioners must be at least 250 feet from the entrance to the polls. Here is the state’s brief.
WILL THE 250 FEET LINE BE IN BLOOD ???
Yes, and 250 stinky dismembered feet. Gross!
HOW ABOUT JUST AN ARMY OF ANGRY RED ANTS WEARING RED WINTER COATS ???
SOMETIMES I LIKE TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW WHEN IT RAINS. IT MAKES ME HAPPY THAT SOME OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TO BE OUT IN THE RAIN.
The petition circulators should not have asked for permission. They should have just showe up an asserted their rights. Nobody sought permission to gather petition signatures at polling places in Maine when I worked a petition drive there. We just showed up and did it.
Allah is great! All praises to Allah!
