Less restrictions in Nebraska than many other states such as Oklahoma with a $5,000 candidate fee.

Nebraska is similar to Massachusetts, North Carolina, and New Mexico where the state picks generally recognized candidates to place on primary ballots. California has also done it that way but this year has only Charles Ballay who is not a generally recognized candidate in comparison to several others seeking the LP nomination. While it does make things easier for many of our candidates, it’s rather arbitrary and as we’ve seen with California this year if the state starts deciding few or no LP candidates are sufficiently well known it becomes a problem.
Non-binding. Who cares?
The state of Nebraska refused to hold a primary for the Legal Marijuana Now party this year because it says none of the four candidates put forward were legitimate members of the party.
However, Nebraska lets presidential candidates qualify for presidential primaries by petition, even if they aren’t recognized by the state as being mentioned in the media as candidates for that party’s nomination.
Sounds like Jason Hornberger seems to be a pretty good candidate.
In a word, no.
@CP,
California now has a statutory definition of who is a “generally recognized” candidate. The candidate must apply.
The easiest way is for the candidate to register with the FEC, have a current campaign website, and a note from the California party. Apparently no one sought the LP recognition, or they refused to give it.
I care.
