On March 30, filing closed in South Carolina for candidates seeking the nomination of a qualified party for Congress, state office, and local partisan office. Besides the Democratic and Republican Parties, these parties will have some nominees for those offices: American, Constitution, Green, Independence, and Libertarian.
All of those parties will nominate by convention. However, South Carolina election law requires candidates seeking a convention nomination to file in advance of the conventions, just as candidates running in a major party primary file. Here is a link to the State Election Commission web page that has the list of candidates.
Bill Bledsoe is seeking the nomination of both the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party for U.S. Senate. South Carolina permits fusion. However, the law says a candidate seeking the nomination of two parties must win both of those nominations, or he or she can’t run in November at all.
The American Party has contested nominations for both U.S. Senate and U.S. House, 5th district.
Qualified parties that will have no nominees this year (unless they nominate someone for President later in the year) are the Labor, United Citizens, and Working Families Parties.
I wish I could run for President, but I’m not rich. I belive in a party that upholds the Contitution, Any body who toy’s to change the Constitution for there own agenda and take away our rights should be treated as a traitor and dealt with as one. Every elected offest adsicial should be continuously be under investigation. The Constitution states from the President, Vice President down to the lowest assemblyman are to be paid from the Treasurey, and are not to receive anything not even from a king or a prince. And it needs to be enforced, any politician caught should have give the money to social security so it goes to the people. Then they should be prosecuted for subversion and or treason.
I haven’t been able to get a clear answer. Could y’all tell me whether or not Darrell Castle is on the ballot in SC? His website says they are, but the SC Constitution Party website (which scares me) seems to be in love with Donald Trump. Thanks
Yes, Castle is on in South Carolina.
It will be interesting to see how naive working class voters will vote in South Carolina.Those Redneck beer drinkers .
