The Michigan Advance, an on-line news source for Michigan government and politics, has this story, pointing out that any Republican who tried and failed to get on the party’s primary ballot to run for Governor still has time to submit 12,000 valid signatures as an independent candidate. It also says they are free to seek the nomination of one of Michigan’s ballot-qualified minor parties. The Natural Law Party, which is still qualified in Michigan but no other state, has a history of placing any candidate on the general election ballot who seeks its nomination, regardless of ideology.
