Earnest Ray Calhoon, a Democrat running for California Assembly, 79th district, has been disqualified from the June primary ballot because of a supposed flaw with his petition. Candidates for legislature in California need 40 signatures to get on a primary ballot. Some of the signers for Calhoon let the circulator fill in the address blank, instead of doing it themselves. Calhoon has filed a state court lawsuit to get back on the ballot. Calhoon v Weber, 26WM000063, Sacramento Superior Court.
That’s called fraud. Good thing it got caught.
The rule on California petitions has always been everything in the signers own hand as far as I remember.
Nothing wrong with disqualifying demon rats.
States need to make ballot qualification more “fees-able”, and less dependent on petition filing.
