On March 28, the Missouri State Senate unanimously passed SB 276. It now goes to the House. It fixes an irritating typographical error in the Missouri ballot access reform bill of 1993. The way it is supposed to work is that in Missouri, a group that wants to become a qualified party circulates a petition. If it gets 10,000 valid signatures, it is then a qualified party, and free to nominate by convention for any partisan office in the state. The problem is that the error forces such a group to list candidates for presidential elector in its party petition. This deprives the group of the flexibility to decide later whether to run a presidential candidate, and if so, who it wants to run for president.
