Louisiana has five ballot-qualified parties: Republican, Democratic, Independent, Libertarian, and Green. Louisiana allows independent presidential candidates, and the nominees of unqualified parties, to be on the ballot by paying a fee of $500. Ten presidential candidates used the filing fee method: the nominees of the Constitution, Socialism & Liberation, Socialist Workers, American Solidarity, and Unity Parties; and independents Jade Simmons, R. Boddie, Kanye West, Brock Pierce, and Tom Hoefling.

The Secretary of State has posted a candidate list at his website, although it doesn’t yet have the presidential nominees of any qualified parties, except for the Libertarian Party. The Independent Party is not expected to have a presidential nominee. Use this link. For president, choose “presidential electors” and use the button at the top to get the results. Thanks to Joshua Fauver for the link.

By coincidence, the 2020 Louisiana Democratic presidential primary also had fourteen candidates on the ballot.

On August 20, the Colorado Supreme Court agreed to hear Bedrooms are for People v City of Boulder. The city of Boulder told proponents of a local initiative that they needed 4,048 signatures by August 5, 2020. But on July 10, the city changed its mind, and said the deadline was June 21 and that 8,096 signatures are needed. The proponents sued in state court, but lost in the trial court. Here is the opening brief.

The Ohio Secretary of State has rejected the independent presidential petition of Kanye West, even though it had over 14,000 signatures and only 5,000 were required. The Secretary of State says the original declaration of candidacy doesn’t match the copy of the declaration of candidacy used on each petition sheet. Thus, the Secretary of State didn’t even bother to check the validity of the petition signatures.
