On April 1, Cara Castronuiva, a Republican seeking the New York Republican Party’s nomination for U.S. Senate, filed a federal lawsuit against the petition requirement. Because she did not show substantial support at the party state convention, she must get 15,000 signatures of registered Republicans in only 37 days. Castronuiva v Cox, e.d., 1:24cv-2428. Here is her Complaint, which is Pro Se.
The primary is June 25, 2024.
They make a compelling case. I hope she is successful.
WHAT STATES ARE REALLY CONTROLLED BY PARTY HACK LAWLESS TYRANT MINORITY RULE MONARCHS/OLIGARCHS ???
NY THE WORST ??? — DUE TO FUSION MACHINATIONS ???
GOP is a major party, would she not need “only” 7,500 signatures?
I don’t see a problem with that law.
PRINT BALLOTS DEADLINE BEFORE ELECTION DAYS ???
No need for sigs under Max plan. No need to learn spells under Max plan. Max plan good.
Under Eu v San Francisco, parties may require additional conditions to receive a partisan nomination. The NY Republican Party is not unique in invoking this privilege.
Conversely, the state should not make it more difficult for a candidate who fails to secure a partisan nomination to seek the nomination of another party, or run as an independent. “Sore loser’ laws should not apply, but some run-off mechanism should be in place, if no candidate gets 50% of the vote in the general election.
Why are you against sore loser laws? They make sense to me.
Sore loser laws implicitly block fusion nominations, and don’t enable voters in the general election to vote for a preferred candidate. In any event, sore loser laws cannot stop anyone for voting for any candidate by write-in. The only logical reason for them is because we generally use plurality voting, without any runoff. Which is a big reason why I favor some sort of run-off, or alternative voting method.
Standing vote count eliminates all the problems.
Cara Castronuova is spelled with two O’s.
No need to learn spells sound good to me. I ain’t spell too good. Most retards suck at spells.
@MaxP,
Max plan is not actually a plan.
@Porcus,
How would standing count work for the 2024 election for US Senator for New York.
The same as for any election. It doesn’t have to be in one precinct only. I’ve seen several people tell you this. Is there some other problem with US Senate from NY or the current year?
It’s more of a directional set of proposals than a plan.
By the way, my schedule should clear up in about a week or so if there’s any interest in revisiting the Nadezhdin discussion. I was too busy for it at the time with business managers out sick, quitting/threatening to quit, holidays, etc. I still am, but not for much longer.

MORE NY ROT
BAN PRIMARY WRITE-IN VOTES >>> 14-2 SUBVERTED
Correction, probably more like a month, maybe more. It’s going to take some time to catch up.
@Porcus,
It is November 5, 2024, 12:01 A.M. There are 13 million registered voters in New York State. Perhaps 9 million will want to vote. There may be around 13,000 election districts (election precincts), or around 1000 voters per election district, with 700 a typical number of actual voters.
When do the meetings take place? Where do they take place?
1201 AM – ALL VOTERS TURN INTO COMMIE ZOMBIES IN NY AND EAT EACH OTHER
RISING SUN DISSOLVES DRACULA SURVIVORS
In the evening, say 7 to 9 pm. The usual voting places should be sufficient. If any are not, they can consolidate at a facility such as a school with separate rooms where different precincts might meet.
I don’t know of anyone except a few tiny towns in New Hampshire near the Canadian border during primaries who votes at midnight in person. The only other midnight voters, to my knowledge, are those participating in the fraudulent snail mail voting system.
@PF,
Under federal law, elections for Senator are on November 5, 2024. I was not suggesting that they would meet at midnight, but that they would meet at some designated time. Your nephew Porcus has chosen a time.
@PA,
How large would a meeting hall would be required for 700 voters, perhaps as many as 2000? How would it be determined whether a person is eligible to participate?
What if a voter had to operate the subway at that time? What about if they are a police officer, nurse, prison guard, refinery worker, who has to be on duty at that time?
Does everyone really have to vote? I think the problem comes from that misguided notion.
It’s not an untested voting method. Iowa Democrats use it for their primary.
@JR
You mentioned Senate, but you can only feasibly do straight-ticket with standing count. You could actually still do fusion (different tickets have some but not all of the same candidates) and/or instant runoff.
First past the post, winning party picks officeholders any way it wants.
@AC,
Porous said that standing count would replace the 2024 NY Senate election. I’m trying to get the details.
Those are the details. The vote would be by party. Senator would be one of the offices appointed by the winning party, for now.
