Delaware Bill Moving Non-Presidential Primary is Not on Senate Agenda for the Last Day of the Session

Delaware HB 65 moves the non-presidential primary from September to April. Because Delaware links the date of the primary to the deadline for creating a new party, if the bill becomes law, the deadline for qualifying a new party moves from August to March.

The bill passed the House in April, and passed the Senate Elections & Government Affairs Committee in May, but since then it has not moved. The last day of the session is Monday, June 30. On Saturday, June 28, the legislature posted the Senate Agenda for June 30, and HB 65 is not on the agenda. So it seems it will not pass. However, Delaware has a two-year legislature session, so it could be alive in 2026.

The deadline would be unconstitutional, under a Third Circuit precedent from New Jersey, which struck down an April deadline for the nominees of unqualified parties to get on the ballot. Delaware and New Jersey are both in the Third Circuit.

  1. White Power in that little girl’s smile, White Power is the source of our style. A new religion that will bring you to your knees, White Power if you please!

  2. Yo, I’m Donald Trump, the one they’re talking about, if you talk crap about me you’ll get punched in the mouth.

    If you disrespect me, forget about it, forget it. Best case for you is you’ll survive to regret it.

    I’m the Boss of all Bosses, King of all Kings. I bring the world hope, I’m why we have nice things.

    Last time I took human form, I got crucified. This time around, I won’t be so nice.

    If you keep denying Me, I’ll punish your behavior. Wouldn’t it be better for you to accept Me as Lord and Savior?

    If you know what’s good for you, get on your knees. Or am I gonna have to give you five of These???
