Nebraska Democratic Party Tries to Exclude Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., from Ballot

Posted on by July 19, 2024

On July 19, the Nebraska Democratic Party urged the Secretary of State to rule that he can’t be an independent candidate in Nebraska, because he is a minor party nominee in certain other states. See this story.

The Democratic Party letter ignores the fundamental point that the true candidates in a presidential election in November are the candidates for presidential elector. Technically, there is no “presidential election” in the United States. Instead, in November, there are 51 separate elections for slates of presidential elector candidates. The elections are separate. It is of no importance that Kennedy has elector candidates in some states that are independents, while in other states they are members of a one-state party.

Every minor party or independent presidential candidate of any consequence in U.S. history has used a mix of methods to get on the ballot. This is true for Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, Robert La Follette in 1924, Congressman Thomas Lemke in 1936, Henry Wallace in 1948, Strom Thurmond in 1948, George Wallace in 1968, Congressman John Schmitz in 1972, John Anderson in 1980, Ross Perot in both 1992 and 1996, and every Libertarian and Green presidential nominee 1976 through the present.

  10. Thank you Richard. How does the recent Trump/Colorado decision affect the idea that the elections are separate in each state, when it is important to avoid a patchwork effect across the nation?

  15. I always laugh at posts like this when Richard Winger constantly slams Republicans.

  20. According to the Democrats, democracy is too important to confuse voters with a lot of candidates.

  22. Also, it should be spelled Democratcy, to make it clear that it is the form of government where the Democratic Party rules. Anything else is an authoritarian sham democracy.

  23. ONE COMMIE DONKEY PER OFFICE ONLY —

    TOO CONFUSING ???

  25. That overview of who all has previously been on the Nebraska ballot after mixing nominations, should be all that needs be said. Hopefully the Nebraska SoS reads BAN. And just in case he does… Hi Bobby, you election fraud excusing sumbich!

  26. There’s no need to change the spelling of Democracy. It’s already clear to everyone who is not evil and stupid that democracy = Democratic Party. One of the reasons highly committed Democrats love to go into professions like teaching and journalism is so that people have the mental tools to not accidentally fall into the trap of becoming evil and stupid. Not everyone can be saved, but we’re working on it.

  27. Todays Democrat Party not the same as your mommas Democrat Party. Today they stand for the opposite of Democracy. Evil people who hate America.

    Kennedy is the Remedy !

  28. Comrade Zohar,

    Comrade Zohar,

    Today’s Democratic Party is much better. Our opponents are evil people who hate our Mother Goddess Gaia (our wombperson Earth). This is even true of candidates like the brainwormspermperson and Stein who claim to be environmentalists but really only help elect evil Republicans like the fascist former spermperson.

    We stand for Democratcy. And we stood for it when my wombperson went to the oval office and conceived me on the Resolute desk with the assistance of my biological spermperson, President Bill Clinton. But now we’re even better! Duh!

    We need a remedy for Kennedy!
