The Tennessee Secretary of State’s initial review of the independent presidential petition for Chase Oliver shows that it lacks 40 valid signatures. The requirement is 275 and the campaign submitted 450. The campaign is engaged in efforts to review the work of the Secretary of State.
Tennessee approved these independent petitions: for the nominees of the Green, Socialist Workers, Socialism & Liberation Parties; and two independents, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Jay J. Bowman.
Tennessee rejected the Constitution Party presidential petition because that campaign collected some of the signatures on photocopies of blank forms, instead of on original blank forms.
Epic screw up.
I heard they submitted 462 signatures.
What about other independent presidential candidates in Tennessee? Is there a list for who made it and who did not?
Yes, it was posted in the NH thread.
Rigged. Though I can’t imagine why. Tennessee is so thoroughly red that a libertarian on the ballot is not important in the slightest as a spoiler.
Based exclusion! Libertarians are embarrassing. In the birthplace of the great and almighty Ku Klux Klan Nation, we kept their chomo candidate off the ballot. Huzzah!
Libertarians never had a problem getting on the ballot in Tennessee as independent candidates in the past.
They never ran chomo candidates before either, unless they were in the closet.
I take it thaf the petition to qualify American Solidarity candidate for President, Peter Sonski, must have failed? I know they had at least one paid petitioner in Tennessee.
The based office employees probably figured out they are secret Bandera followers.
ONE MORE REASON FOR ONE VOTER NOM FORMS
IN THE LP CASE – ON LP TN WEBSITE OR IN LP TN NEWSLETTER
Sure, if they want to end up with 20 or 30 signatures. If that worked, wouldn’t they already be doing it? Duh.
In fact there are states where they already do it. They don’t get a lot of signatures back that way. That’s why they have to hire petitioners.
Also, Tennessee is among the many states where that would not be legal.
Among other things, each petition booklet or page (I’m forgetting which already) has to have the candidates wet ink signatures in Tennessee. At least the last time I worked there they did. Maybe it changed since, but not to my knowledge.
This is too funny. Chase Oliver sucks so much he had to resort to fraud- and still lost.
Next time nominate an actual libertarian instead of a communist.
WOW! In year 2020 primary in CA the ROV accepted petitions of photo copies of petition that were not duplexes but copied to single sided sheets. The County ROV then duplexes the single sheet and made them appear as duplexed in their records. Sent the original single sided sheets to the CA SOS.
It is good to use original documents and not use copies because it cuts down on fraud.
One less child abuse supporter on the ballot is a good thing.
Amen, cfp!
At least Oliver isn’t a JEW!
Why is like 90% of the people in these comment sections a schizo? Like seriously y’all are the most deranged, sad mfers out there.
That was three done in 2020 by three office holders all Domocrats. It was done in Kings County, Orange County, and Los Angeles County.
PERHAPS JUST ONE SUPER TROLL MORON NUTCASE — WITH LOTS OF FAKE NAMES ???
Do you mean yourself? I only know of two. How many others do you have?
Who said he’s not a Jew? Many Jews fly under the radar. Prominent examples include Lenin, Stalin, and FDR.
Marx Seidenberger, are you referring to the trolling here as being done by three Democrat officeholders from southern California?
Kampala Harris is the name of the mud person who’s dreaming
Of killing Whites listening to us screaming
I would say there is about an 80 or 90 percent chance Chasing Oliver is a secret Jew.
Would you say it’s closer to 80 percent or closer to 90 percent?
“Tennessee rejected the Constitution Party presidential petition because that campaign collected some of the signatures on photocopies of blank forms, instead of on original blank forms.”
You have got to be kidding me.
No. Tennessee has always been strict about that.
Tennessee is against fraud. Chase Oliver tried to commit fraud and failed. He should be tried for a crime.
Sad situation for Tennessee voters.
How does the Tennessee Secretary of State know if a petition form is an original or a photocopy?
Also, I have found it efficacious for petitions to create a list of high-value target registered voters and then just go knock on their doors and ask for their signature. Using this approach I completed the LP presidential primary petition for Oklahoma this year by myself. It takes more prep work but the signature validity rate nears 100%.
No surprise Whitfield and Powell support fraud. Chase Oliver and his crazy supporters committed fraud and should be charged.
Voter and petition fraud should be a minimum 10 years in prison.
More like 15 or 20 years. Our elections cannot be stolen again.
Chris Powell,
The originals are numbered and the office keeps a record of the page or booklet numbers they issue to each campaign.
White Power! God bless the Great State of Tennessee for keeping the chomo freak off the ballot! Vote Trump, vote Trump, everybody vote Trump!
Your Trump posse is big?
My Trump posse is bigger!
When was the last time you boys killed a nigger?
I’m Trumping up in the way that I do
With some help from my White power skinhead Klan crew!
“Libertarians never had a problem getting on the ballot in Tennessee as independent candidates in the past.”
You might recall during one of his presidential campaigns Johnson had to fly to Tennessee strictly for the purpose of signing additional blank pages at the last minute.
In fact, I recall hearing through the grapevine that you yourself almost had to make an unscheduled stop to rescue that particular Tennessee drive on your way driving from somewhere up north to Alabama. But my memory is hazy on that.
Chase and his core campaign team can’t really dictate what goes on in every state. What may have happened is that not enough people stepped up to sign or circulate petitions for him, because not enough people in Tennessee were interested.
But why were over 40% of signatures rejected? Wrong districts? Not registered to vote? Registered with a party? Something wrong with the form? Not notarized?
I don’t think you have a clue to how petition gathering generally happens.
There is no registration by party in Tennessee, and that sort of thing only matters for primary petitions in the states where it matters at all.
The only district they needed to be registered in was Tennessee, except for electoral college candidates – I think Tennessee still requires them to be from their districts (I know for sure it used to).
In most states, as you know, the vast majority of signatures are gathered by traveling pros. Tennessee is a small enough requirement that in some years they actually do do it with local volunteers, but in many years even they need help from traveling pros.
I know Bill Redpath mentioned Tennessee as one of the states where he worked himself this year. See
https://thirdpartywatch.com/2024/09/04/bill-redpath-responds-to-lnc-chair-mcardle/
Then Redpath should be charged with fraud alongside Chase Oliver. Redpath is also too lazy to file treasurers reports to the party. That’s another case of fraud!
All libertarians belong in prison, or better yet on the gallows. Advocating legalizing drugs alone would be reason enough.
Damn this site is so full of schizos. Take your haloperidol y’all
Did you take yours, Nick?
Nick = Robert K St0ck.
Stop trolling = Robert K St0ck.
Quit with the attention whoring, dude.
This St0ck guy is bad news.
Why do you speak of yourself in the third person?
What about Clint Russell and Josie Glabach? I believe the Tennessee LP nominated them?
Trump Is Jesus and Trump Klan are obvious Democrats. My guess is that they’re allied with Richard Spencer.
The Tennessee l.p. didn’t nominate anyone. Their chairman endorsed them in an opinion he published, but nobody did the ballot access work.
You call me a democrat to my face, punk. See what happens. Richard Spencer is a bitch, like you.
I’d nominate Josie Glabach to serve in my bed.
No women that already bleed and have been with men are fit to take as wife slaves. A good wife slave must be a virgin which will soon undergo puberty.
I’m sure Josie’s husband would approve that.
I curse the reprobate who called me a demon rat and the reprobate’s family for 10,000 generations in the name of Jesus Trump!
How do i sign it ? Im in Tennessee
2 late.
