The Colorado primary is June 26. El Paso County election officials decided not to print up any primary ballots for the Democratic Party or the American Constitution Party, because those two parties have no primary contests within the boundaries of the county. But the Colorado Secretary of State believes each county must print up primary ballots for all three parties that are entitled to nominate by primary. See this story. The Secretary of State apparently will sue the county to get a judicial decision on this issue.

El Paso County is a populous county that contains Colorado Springs.

On April 30, the Missouri Senate Finance & Government Operations & Elections Committee passed HB 1046. It requires political parties that wish to have a presidential candidate on the November ballot to furnish copies of the birth certificates of both the presidential and vice-presidential candidate, within 7 days after the nominee is chosen. If it is signed into law, it will go into effect on August 28, 2012. The Democratic national convention is later than that date. The bill has already passed the House.

The bill also requires presidential primary candidates to furnish their birth certificates, and also requires declared write-in presidential candidates to do the same. But it does not apply to independent presidential candidates.
