Official Gary Johnson Discussion Thread

[willie24]

I thought GJ did an excellent job. mancow being a dick may have actually helped him because everyone could tell that the questions were unfair and GJ did a pretty good job anyway. i thought his best response was "should we have pre-emptively bombed russia, china, turkey etc before they had nukes?" mankow: "yes, maybe we'd have less problems now." GJ: "I think we'd have more"

OK: Sooner State knocks Libertarian hopeful off ballot


OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma State Election Board removed the Americans Elect party from the November presidential election ballot Wednesday, effectively knocking out Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

The decision was made based on the advice of the state Attorney General’s Office.

Earlier this summer, the state Americans Elect party had designated a slate of presidential electors and named Johnson as its candidate, even as the national party’s directors spiked the group’s nationwide drive to provide an alternative to the two major parties.

Secretary of the State Election Board Paul Ziriax said in a statement sent Wednesday morning to CapitolBeatOK:

“You have previously asked me about the conflicting instructions the State Election Board received from the Directors of the Americans Elect party and a local group claiming to on act on behalf of the Americans Elect party. (The Board of Directors of the party instructs that the Americans Elect party will not field any candidates for President or Vice President, while the local group instructs that the party has chosen candidates for President and Vice President – the same candidates chosen by the Libertarian Party in other states.)”

Ziriax said Assistant Attorney General Neal Leader advised the Election Board that it “should not place the Americans Elect Party president and vice-presidential candidates or presidential electors on the November 2012 general election ballot in Oklahoma.”

Ziriax told CapitolBeatOK, “Our staff will proceed with our general election ballot preparations accordingly.”

The first sentence of the article states this:

The article is about the Americans Elect party. The Americans Elect party won't be on the OK ballot, but the Libertarian Party will be on the ballot afaik. Since Gary Johnson is the nominee of the Libertarian Party, you will be able to vote for Gary Johnson in November. The Americans Elect party was trying to get Johnson to be its nominee.

again, learn to read. facepalm.jpg

Did you not see this?

effectively knocking out Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

omg Fermion learn to read will ya, it's not hard!

[Fermion5]

my bad. The article didn't say anything about the libertarian party being denied ballot access in Oklahoma. I figured the LP was on the ballot in all 50 states.

effectively knocking out Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

This didn't provide me any information on LP ballot status in OK.

I haven't been following the LP/AE news.
