PRIORITY #3: Verify Dr Paul will be on your GOP Primary Ballot!! [Archive]

Alien11

PRIORITY #2: Get Ron on the primary ballot in all 50 states!

The Virginia thread below reminded me this was very important.

Although I am sure the campaign is working very hard on this, the meetup groups in every state must be willing to coordinate and make sure Ron has all the proper signatures to qualify to get his name on the primary ballot!

Since the GOP has many tricks up their sleeve and rules and regulations to go along with it, then it is vitally important that the meetup start working on getting him on the ballot right away!

After confirmation of Ron being on the ballot in a state, we should list what states have Ron on the primary ballot and which states we need to work on. Remember Ron cannot win the nomination if he not on the ballot in the first place!

UPDATE:

HERE ARE THE DEADLINES FOR EACH STATE (thanks to thomaseusin):

Make sure you check your State's Election Dept website for the rules of getting him on the primary ballot.

It may be that all that needs to happen is the State GOP needs to designate him a nationally viable candidate (absent any easier require as below). If so, start making phone calls!

The easier method may be a State law that allows any candidate that is eligible for Federal Matching Funds automatically gets on the ballot. The FEC has already listed Dr Paul as eligible.

For Illinois at least please go to this page:

http://ronpaul.meetup.com/94/messages/boards/view/viewthread?thread=3732321

And contact Jason Acebal, our ballot coodinator. If you live in Illinois or a close region the best thing you can do to help Ron Paul this weekend is to help out with gathering signatures to get him and his delegates on the ballot. If they're not on there no one can vote for them. We need thousands of signatures, hundreds (at the least) in each district, and there are 19 of them.

Ron Paul is not doing well on the ballot petition in Virginia. We are still short 3,000 signatures and the submission deadline is upon us.

Anyone who is an eligible Virginia voter can circulate the petitions.

Please visit www.paulsparachute.com

The Virginia Ballot Coordinator is Allan Neal of the Central Virginia Ron Paul meetup. See here: http://ronpaul.meetup.com/531/

Kentucky has the matching funds law. So he should be on the primary ballot here.

At least I'm pretty sure thats what this means:

The State Board of Elections will convene in Frankfort on the second Tuesday in January preceding a presidential preference primary. At the meeting, the board will nominate as presidential preference primary candidates all candidates of the the political party for the office of President whom have qualified for matching federal campaign funds. Immediately upon completion of this requirement, the board will transmit a list of all the nominees selected to the Secretary of State and the names will also be released to the news media. (KRS 118.581)

In any case we are a late primary and the deadline isnt until Jan 29.

At least I'm pretty sure thats what this means:

Kentucky and Ohio both require that the candidate apply for and be certified to be eligible to receive matching funds in order to utilize that exception. The RP campaign has not done so, and unless they do so in Ohio ASAP, they will have to collect thousands of signatures (those with a letter certifying eligibility for matching funds have 0 signatures to collect to get on the ballot in Ohio as a Republican candidate for president). Kentucky also has an exception for candidates already on the primary ballot in 20 or more states, which should cover RP.

For Pennsylvania

All nine "How 2 Petition" videos are now posted on You Tube, so we can get the
ball rolling immediately.

Please use the links listed below my signature to view each of the nine step
"How 2 Petition" videos.

It is my hope that this e-mail can simply be forwarded to all Pennsylvania Ron
Paul Meet Up Groups.

Further, I hope all Ron Paul supporters will use this resource to educate
themselves and other American citizens about how to correctly abide by the state
of Pennsylvania's
petitioning procedures and guidelines.

If these videos can help other Ron Paul supporters in other states, by all
means, let's get these videos out to them right away!

So far Maine is the only state prior to February 5th still pending.

Of the states on February 5th:

Alaska (pending)
Colorado (pending)
Delaware (pending)
Minnesota (pending)
Montana (not confirmed)
New Jersey (pending)
North Dakota (pending)

All other states have confirmed Paul is on the ballot. Of these that haven't at least Delaware and New Jersey are probably already certain, just waiting for confirmation.

Also all but Montana, Delaware, and New Jersey are Caucus states. The states on February 5th are crucial because Giuliani is planning most of his strategy around them.

UPDATE:

Ron Paul on ballot in Wisconsin.

A state panel today officially set the ballot for Wisconsin's Presidential Primary next year.

The 2008 Presidential Preference Committee is made up of legislators and party leaders. They unanimously approved the names of eight Republicans and eight Democrats, who will appear on the February 19th primary ballot.

State GOP Chairman Reince Priebus says it's a strong field for his party. He feels great about their chances in the upcoming races.

Democratic Chairman Joe Wineke says he feels the same way about his party. He says many national polls are showing Democrats with an advantage in many parts of the country.

Appearing on the ballot for Democrats will be Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson.

Republicans will have Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, and Fred Thompson.

That will likely make him the 2nd Republican to file ahead of the Friday deadline.

For the Dems, only Obama has filed so far.

Congratulations! On 2:00 PM ET Dec. 17, Ron Paul was certified to be on the ballot for the Republican presidential primary in Virginia.

The Republican Party HQ of Virginia determined that he had enough signatures to be on the ballot. Actually, their staff had to stop counting after the first box of petitions because there were just too many petitions to count.

Thank you to all our volunteers for your hard work in getting Congressman Ron Paul on the ballot. You made this happen!

Kentucky and Ohio both require that the candidate apply for and be certified to be eligible to receive matching funds in order to utilize that exception. The RP campaign has not done so, and unless they do so in Ohio ASAP, they will have to collect thousands of signatures (those with a letter certifying eligibility for matching funds have 0 signatures to collect to get on the ballot in Ohio as a Republican candidate for president). Kentucky also has an exception for candidates already on the primary ballot in 20 or more states, which should cover RP.

How can this be verified to make sure? Speaking of Kentucky in particular.

Even though Alaska is a caucus, there is a ballot signature requirement. Looks like the campaign turned in all the signatures on the 21st. Not confirmed yet, but just about there:

ANCHORAGE, Alaska--(BUSINESS WIRE)----Republican Congressman Ron Paul's presidential campaign is preparing to turn in the signatures necessary to guarantee a place on Alaska's primary caucus ballot.

Dr. Paul's National Campaign Manager Lew Moore is in Anchorage today for the announcement. Earlier this week, Washington State Coordinator Maureen McMahan Moore visited Haines, Juneau, and Fairbanks to hire staff and meet with volunteers. Another volunteer meetings is planned for this Saturday, December 22, from 10:00AM to Noon at the Anchorage Marriott Hotel.

"Alaska has rallied to Dr. Paul's message of freedom, peace and prosperity," said Campaign Manager Lew Moore.

The signatures will be delivered to the Republican office in Anchorage early today.

Also looks like Ron Paul is on the Kansas ballot now:

Huckabee's campaign paid a $5,000 fee on Wednesday to formally enter the state's GOP race. Four others also are on the ballot so far: former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Arizona Sen. John McCain, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

You'll note the column where it says QBP that means "qualified for ballot access" and there is a column for "certified" which means signatures that have been proven valid for the petition. Right now Paul is at 243. He's qualify, but right now it isn't official.

I know it was reported earlier that Ron Paul was on the ballot in NY due to his national stature as a candidate, but if not for the hard work of about a dozen supporters over the last two weeks to compile a delegate list, we would have lost it!

We had to submit a list of 87 delegates and alternates coming from all Congressional Districts. Under Republican rules, we had to file a complete slate to be eligible. (Dems operate differently and e.g., Edwards filed with an incomplete slate of delegates.)

Due to the wacky party enrollment "lockbox" system in NY (see my Jan 12 post at http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=65532 for an explanation) the State Board of Elections, who certifies our delegate list, does not have a current list of all NY Republicans, only those who switched to R* before Oct 12, 2006 or who were newly-registering voters enrolling R* before November 1, 2007 (when the counties reported their info to the state). Therefore, our volunteers had to go around in person to County Boards of Elections all over the state to get certified copies of proof of Republican enrollment for almost half our slate. We only had five days from when we were informed of the "problems" to complete this state-wide scavenger hunt. This is now done and certified by the state!

FYI, I just spoke with the Board (Allison Carr) a few minutes ago. The delegate slate is fine and RP is on the ballot for New York. -- posted by Warren Redlich on Fri, 11 Jan 2008

Ron Paul is "officially" on the NYS Republican Presidential primary ballot; he "drew" the first position on the ballot some time ago... I would like to recognize especially Bruce Martin for all the time and effort he expended in this task. Other key contributors included Jim Ostrowski (Buffalo) and Warren Redlich (Warren will be running for Congress in the 21st CD this year). -- posted by Carl Svensson Sat Jan 12, 2008

Some of our folks who worked on this are lawyers, and yes, they are considering suing the state BoE for this completely unnecessary cost and hassle.

To Victory!
