On August 3, the Idaho Constitution Party nominated Joel Skousen for president. Normally the Idaho Constitution Party nominates whomever won its presidential primary. However, in 2024, Idaho didn’t have a presidential primary for any party, so the party had to use another basis to make its decision.
The earlier blog post that says Joel Skousen dropped out of the presidential race appears to be untrue. Thanks for the helpful comments.
Justin McNeal, a South Dakota independent candidate for U.S. House, does not have enough valid signatures, according to this story. The requirement is 3,502 and he submitted approximately 5,000 signatures. But a random sample showed he did not have enough valid. The story says some of his signatures had errors related to the notarization.
August 1 was the petition deadline for Pennsylvania independent candidate petitions, and petitions for the nominees of unqualified parties. The Department accepted the petitions of the Libertarian, Green, We the People, and Socialism & Liberation Parties.
The Department rejected the petition of the Constitution Party, because some of the presidential elector candidates did not submit a timely declaration of candidacy. However, in the past, Pennsylvania has permitted presidential candidates to be on the November ballot even if they did not have a full slate of presidential elector candidates. No state law says a presidential candidate must submit a full slate of electors. The Constitution Party will submit evidence on past practices and will try to get the decision reversed.
UPDATE: the American Solidarity Party petition was also rejected for the same reason.
