On February 14, the Michigan Senate passed SB 752. Among other things, it requires qualified parties that nominate by convention to give advance notice of the dates and locations of their nominating conventions to elections officials. It has a hearing on April 24 in the House Redistricting & Elections Committee, at 9:30 a.m., in 521 House Office Building. The bill had passed unanimously in the Senate. If enacted, it goes into effect June 1, 2012. Thanks to Thomas Jones for this news.

One more harassment by the regime.
Currently such parties are required to file their nominees within one day after the convention (the equivalent of filing by a canvassing board after a primary).
If no one knows when or where the conventions are to be held, how can anyone know whether the nomination was actually done by any sort of public process?
Yet one more reason to have ONE election day using —
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
NO primaries, NO caucuses, NO conventions to worry about.
