From Richard Winger at Ballot Access News:
Last month the Arizona legislature passed HB 2608, which makes it more difficult for a member of a small qualified party to get on the primary ballot. On April 14, the Governor of Arizona, Doug Ducey, signed the bill. It sharply increases the number of signatures for a candidate of a small qualified party to get on the primary ballot. However, it has no effect on parties that have ballot-qualified for less than four years, so it has no impact on the Green Party. See this story.
Not sure where the money would come from for that, but a good idea in principle.
How about a referendum to see if Arizona voters want to prevent this law from going into effect?
I guess we’ll have to hope for relief from the courts now.
Sad, especially since these Republican idiots are doing this because they presume that we cost them votes, even though the actual evidence shows otherwise. They are truly both a stupid and evil party.
Another shot fired by the Republican Party in their jihad to keep Libertarian Party candidates on the ballot.
