We the People Party Files Paperwork for Qualified Status in Mississippi

On June 17, the We the People Party submitted a list of its officers in Mississippi.  This is the party formed to support Robert F. Kenedy, Jr., for president.  See this story.

The Mississippi law on how a new party gets on the ballot was passed in 1890, and has never changed.  Parties qualify with no need for a petition.  They merely identify their state officers.  Back when government-printed ballots were first created, quite a few states had similar laws.

We the People Party Files Paperwork for Qualified Status in Mississippi — 8 Comments

  1. How many states have a “be organized” rule? I guess I could check the monthly BAN… The only other one I can think of is Vermont.

  2. Why hasn’t the Mississippi ballot been cluttered with frivolous candidates befuddling ignorant voters for 134 years and destabilizing the one/two-party regime?

  3. “A spokesperson for Secretary Michael Watson told SuperTalk Mississippi News on Tuesday morning that the We The People party […] has been informed on multiple occasions that it has not filed the proper paperwork in Mississippi.”

    Huh. So have they or haven’t they filed the (correct) paperwork?
