I can vouch for that, in a way. The electors here in CA who signed up for the Ron Paul/Judge Napalitano ticket sure never asked the Judge. If we had had to have asked, it wouldn't have flown with EITHER Ron or Him, or Ron would have run independent.In a letter to members of the RNC, National Committeeman Steel said this:
Now we know National Committeeman Steel and the Republican National Committee can read. But can they research? Here is some simple detective work.I learned that Mark Willis was listed as an official and “declared” write-in candidate on the state of Maine’s 2012 general [September] election ballot – serving as Ron Paul’s Vice Presidential running mate – and standing against the Republican Presidential nominee and Vice-Presidential running mate. The following link will take you the State of Maine Secretary of State’s Office listing of declared write-in candidates for the November 2012 ballot. Mark Willis is the second name on the list, listed as Ron Paul’s running mate. In the “Date Filed” column it shows that the required forms were filed with the Maine Secretary of State on September 24, 2012 – almost a full month after the Republican National Convention where we officially nominated Gov. Romney and Rep. Ryan.
In the State of Maine, the law states that four presidential electors must nominate a ticket for it to become official. This means that four presidential electors must file paperwork with the State, confirming their consent to the ticket, in order for it to become valid for the general election. The filing paperwork, found here, does not, however, require candidate consent. This means that while the Ron Paul/Mark Willis write-in ticket was valid in Maine, it was entered in by four presidential electors without consent from former Congressman Paul or National Committeeman Willis.
This is exactly what the Maine National Committeeman told the DailyCaller, when he stated he had “nothing to do with it.”
While Mark Willis continues to tell the truth, his colleagues on the Republican National Committee continue to resort to the dishonest tactics that led them down a dark road in 2012. It was the smearing and dirty tactics against even their own that turned off so many Americans in the November elections, when many rejected the Republican Party.
The GOP lost the presidency because grass roots would rather 'throw away' their vote than vote for an entity that cheated to exclude grass roots, not just with Ron but with Rule 12. Willis would work to reverse that rule and exclusion of grass roots, bringing them back inside. If Priebus really cared about the party, he would step aside.
