On March 2, 2010, Texas held its partisan primaries. Kesha Rogers won the Democratic primary for U.S. House, 22nd district. See this story. She is part of Lyndon LaRouche’s organization.

The LaRouche organization has participated in Democratic primaries ever since 1980. This is not the first time a LaRouche supporter has won a Democratic U.S. House primary. However, it is the first time in over a decade.

LaRouche himself ran in Democratic presidential primaries in 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004.

Candidates for the Florida legislature qualify by paying a filing fee of $1,781.82. Neil Combee, a Republican running in the 64th district, state House of Representatives, was removed from the primary ballot because his filing check was made out for $1,781.81, by mistake. See this story.

Combee is running against an incumbent. He expects to file a lawsuit on June 21. Thanks to Political Wire for the link.

According to this story, North Dakota Secretary of State Al Jaeger has agreed to list Joshua Voytek on the November 2010 ballot as the Libertarian Party nominee for Public Service Commission.

Voytek sent his candidacy forms to the Secretary of State’s office in early April, but although they were received in that office, they were inadvertently misfiled, and Voytek was left off the Libertarian primary ballot. The error was discovered in late May, after the primary ballots had been printed. The Secretary of State consulted with the Attorney General, and they agreed that since he was the only person running in the Libertarian primary for that office, he would be deemed to have been nominated.
