[Vision2020] I Done Seen the Error of My Ways

[Scott Dredge]

What's the advantage of registering Democrat or Republican?  Is it anything more than getting to vote for your party's candidates in the Primaries?

   Jill Stein Submits Petitions in Idaho and MontanaAugust 15th, 2012On August 15, Jill Stein submitted, or is about to submit, petitions to be on the ballot in Montana and Idaho. Both petitions are considered to be independent candidate petitions. In Montana, though, the state will print
 “Green” next to Stein’s name on the ballot, assuming the petition had enough valid signatures. In Idaho, the label will be “independent” because Idaho doesn’t allow any other label for independent candidates.Assuming the Idaho petition is valid, this will be the first time the Green Party presidential nominee, or any Green Party nominee for any partisan office, has ever been on the ballot in Idaho. In 2000, Idaho was one of the seven states in which Ralph Nader did not qualify. The Idaho ballot access laws for independent presidential candidates were eased in 2011, as a result of Ralph Nader winning a lawsuit against the old number of signatures. That lawsuit was Daien v Ysursa, won in 2010.Rocky Anderson, presidential candidate, also expects to qualify as an independent in Idaho. Ballot-qualified parties in Idaho are Democratic, Republican, Constitution, and Libertarian. Ballot-qualified parties in Montana are
 Democratic, Republican, Libertarian, and Americans Elect. You need 1,000 signatures to be listed as an independent. A party requires over 13,000 signatures (2% of the electorate).

Which reminds me.

According to the Latah County elections page, in-person absentee ballot voting is open starting the 25th of September (next Tuesday) in Room 101 of the Courthouse.  I voted this way during the last Presidential election, and prefer it to possibly being unavailable to vote on election day.  You never know what might come up.

As an aside, I noticed that Jill Stein is on the ballot as a candidate for President, and is listed under "Independent".  Since she's actually the Green Party's nominee, I wonder if the Green Party had trouble getting on the Idaho ballot for some reason.  Anyone know?  Is this a mistake on the ballot?

V-Peeps . . .

I have re-registered as a Democrat after having moved to a new residence here in Moscow and after having survived these past many months registered as a Republican.


Now, if you'll excuse me, for some reason I feel like I need to take a shower.
