Kennedy Qualifies in Oklahoma

On May 9, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., qualified for the November ballot in Oklahoma, by paying the huge filing fee of $35,000. See this story.

The filing fee alternative to a petition has only existed in Oklahoma since 2017. In the 2020 presidential election, three candidates paid the fee: Kanye West, Brock Pierce, and Jade Simmons, all of them independents. The law applies to unqualified party presidential nominees also.

Qualified parties are on the ballot automatically without the need for the fee. Oklahoma has three qualified parties: Republican, Democratic, and Libertarian. The Green Party hopes to use the filing procedure this year. If they do, the party label “Green” will be on the ballot next to the presidential candidate’s name.

    Candidate vetting in Missouri was handed a victory in court Thursday.
    The result is that eight candidates, all registered Republicans running for office in rural Vernon County, will not be allowed to stay on an August primary ballot as Republicans. The candidates had refused to take a “moral values” survey and undergo other vetting by the county’s Republican committee.
    A circuit court judge on Thursday evening ruled that the county clerk improperly placed their names on the ballot.

    ALL *POLITICS* IS LOCAL ??? NOT ANY MORE.
    HOW SOON BEFORE A SCOTUS OP ???

  2. The nice thing about filing fees is that there is no need to check signatures.

  3. The nicer thing about standing count, no need for either one.

  4. Roman Salute: Benedict Arnold was an American hero until he became a traitor. Just like Steve Bannon. What do the Capitalist investment brokers say? Something similar to, “past performance is no guarantee of future performance”.
