On March 16, California Secretary of State Shirley Weber removed Butch Ware from the June 2, 2026 primary ballot. He is the Green Party candidate for Governor.
California wants two copies of each year’s tax return for the last five years. One copy of each year’s return must be identical to the original, and the other copy must be the same except that certain items must be redacted. The Secretary of State found a flaw in the redaction process. Ware’s phone number was not properly redacted, because the redaction software didn’t function correctly. Ware v Weber, 26WM000074.
On March 19, Ware filed a lawsuit in Sacramento Superior Court to get back on the ballot. Here is his filing. The case is assigned to Judge James Arguelles, the same judge who last week put a congressional candidate on the ballot on qualifications grounds.
What a crazy system. It reminds me of digging up a dead pope to put his corpse on “trial.” The modern supercomplexity of laws, bureaucracy, and elections is no less absurd.
That doesn’t change just because in this case it thwarted a candidate who wants to make government even bigger and more complex than it already is.
