Former football coach Robby Wells is on the ballot for two different offices this year. He is an independent candidate for U.S. House in Virginia, and he is also the presidential nominee of the Party Party, which successfully petitioned this year in Rhode Island, using the independent procedure which allows a partisan label of the candidate’s choice.
Dennis J. Kucinich is a former Democratic member of the U.S. House who is running this year as an independent candidate for the Seventh District, comprising western Cleveland and some neighbor counties. On September 11, the Cleveland Plain Dealer endorsed him, even though earlier this year he had endorsed Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for president. Here is the editorial.
The district has a Republican incumbent. The third candidate in the race is the Democratic nominee.
California law lets 16-year-olds and 17-year-olds fill out a voter registration form, which is activated when the individual turns age 18. On September 26, the Secretary of State released a registration tally for these pre-registered voters. Their partisan affiliation is: Democratic 42.6%; Republican 13.7%; American Independent 3.7%; Libertarian 1.3%; Peace & Freedom 1.0%; Green .7%; independent and miscellaneous 37.0%.
On September 26, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. filed this response in Kennedy v Berger, in the U.S. Supreme Court. This is case over whether he should be restored to the New York ballot.
on September 26, the Jill Stein campaign was able to communicate with the Ohio Secretary of State’s office the information that the so-called “withdrawal” of the Stein ticket was not signed by anyone with any connection to the Stein campaign itself. Therefore, the piece of paper should have been ignored. Instead the Secretary of State took it seriously and said that votes for Stein won’t be counted, even though she is on the ballot. Hopefully the information provided to the Secretary of State will result in reversing that policy.
