Michigan: West off, RFK on.

[taiwan_girl]

Vote was 5-1 to keep him on the ballot. (3 Republics, 3 Democrats on the commission). Seems kind of bi-partisan.

Seems like they’re following the law. So to have removed him would have been the corrupt thing to do.

What party affiliation did the 1 nay vote have?

Yup - when convenient.

Michigan wasn't quite as devoted to the law wrt West.

Remind me again, who was it that said that the British election process was incomprehensible?

Seriously, you guys are so fucked up

Michigan State Supreme Court rules that man who is not running for president must be on the ballot.

Because democracy is at stake.

How do you know? Do you know the specific reason one was taken off and the other was kept on, and how it relates to the law?

Not everything is a conspiracy.

I'm not as familiar with the law in Michigan as I should be.

But I find it beyond silly that the Supreme Court insists that a man who doesn't want to run for president be on the ballot.

[jon-nyc]

I suspect the laws are quite specific about what it takes to get on and what it takes to get off. And what the person ‘wants’ is probably not written in anywhere.

[taiwan_girl]

I kind of agree with @jon-nyc here. I have read of cases where a dead man dies and he is still on the ballot. He cannot be taken off the ballot due to timing, etc.

Ask yourself why we never used to have crap like this going on.
