ONE VOTER FORMS – VIA INTERNET / JUNK MAIL / MEDIA ADS / ETC
@AZ,
How was petitioning done in 1789 when the Bill of Rights was proposed?
I don’t think there was Internet, junk mail, or media ads.
1789 NEWSPAPERS / PAMPHLETS / *BROADSIDES* — LARGE 1 PAGE SHEETS / BOOKS —
INCLUDING 1776 DOI AND ALL SORTS OF EMERGENCY DOCS IN AM REV WAR ON 1 SHEETS — CALLS TO ARMS / ETC.
SEE BEN FRANKLIN- MASTER PRINTER FOR DECADES BEFORE 1789
EARLIER — 1765 STAMP ACT PETITIONS AND 1774 ANTI- TEA TAX PETITIONS.
SEE BOOK — SOURCES OF OUR LIBERTIES ( ABA 1959) — SOURCES OF USA CONST AMDTS 1-8.
NOW ON INTERNET.

@AZ,
How were the petitions to Congress performed?
They should nominate Lars Mapstead, since he won their primary.
As a member of the LPNM I can only say that until all the candidates who are being nominated by petition are known (ie: the Secretary of State has accepted their signatures and issued a certificate of ballot qualification) we don’t really know who is available for our ballot line. Hence the decision to wait until July to decide. Ideally we would like a ticket that is not only libertarian in philosophy but well enough known to poll 5% of the vote which would keep our major party status. It’s a tall order for sure.
The fake party. Got it.
To be fair, Lars was literally the only person on the New Mexico ballot. If they’re not going to nominate the actual nominee Chase, then maybe they should nominate Gary Johnson again? Then again, their politics are quite similar
Why nominate a candidate that is not running. Could be Chase or even RFK Jr.
Gary Johnson doesn’t want to be nominated for president this year. He was asked and he declined.
I hope the New Mexico Libertarian Party nominates Chase Oliver for President to have the most impact.

ALL SORTS OF PETITIONS MENTIONED IN HOUSE/SENATE JOURNALS AND IN CONG. RECORD AND EARLIER VERSIONS.
PERHAPS LOOK AT OLDE NATIONAL ARCHIVES STUFF IN LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.
CAN ASK VARIOUS LOC STAFFERS/EXPERTS.
MANY MANY PETITIONS RE SLAVERY IN 1789-1861
“How was petitioning done in 1789 when the Bill of Rights was proposed?”
There was no such thing as “ballot access” until the late 19th century — all elections were entirely write-in. Voters could hand-write their ballots, orally dictate their ballots to election officials in the presence of witnesses, or cast printed ballots provided to them by their parties of choice.
They actually preferred voice votes, standing counts, and swearing in person about supporting candidates back in those days. Many folks didn’t have quills, ink, paper, or know how to cast spells, much less own printing presses.
@AZ,
Didn’t the people have to peaceably assemble before they could petition?
Petitioning is inherently a collective action. It makes no sense to require action from dispersed hermits.
@TLK,
What does “petition” mean in the 1st Amendment.
As a New Mexico Green, I’m glad to see that the New Mexico Libertarians are active. I watched the Free and Equal Candidate Debate several months ago and was impressed by the clarity and speaking abilities of both Lars and Chase.
