Good News! Add 55 EC Votes eligible to the BaldWIN/Castle ticket. The more access to EC total Votes, the more credible the ticket to the common citizen. This gains access to over 200 of the needed 270 for victory and eligibility to some organization’s debate criteria. It would be outstanding to have ballot access to 400 or above EC Votes. But over 350 will be a good effort!

King is a longtime member of the party and a former chairman himself.

Sounds good if true. That’s the bit that has me doubtful about the whole situation. Hopefully if it gets to the courts they don’t err on the side of “caution”.

Trent, is this all just about Keyes? It seems like there is something else going on here. Is there some unspoken underlying issue?

I don’t know King, but congratulations to Don Grundmann, a nice guy and a party stalwart.

Fred,

I believe Noonan is incorrect when he cites the California election code. I’v had 3 lawyers familiar with California election code tell me so.

Perhaps Richard Winger could fill us in though.

So what about the election code claim Noonan makes about the CC? I get the impression both sides are going to run into problems…
