Peace & Freedom Party Negotiations with California Secretary of State Over Presidential Primary Ballot

For a month, the Peace & Freedom Party has been trying to persuade the California Secretary of State to print the presidential candidates the party desires, on the party?s June 5, 2012 presidential primary ballot. The Secretary of State refuses to list Peta Lindsay. Initially she refused to list Stephen Durham, but she relented, for him. Here is a letter the party?s attorney sent last week. It quotes the Secretary of State?s statements to various courts that she does not investigate any presidential candidate to evaluate whether he or she meets the constitutional qualifications.

Peta Lindsay?s campaign is bigger than Stephen Durham?s campaign. Lindsay has already obtained ballot access in one other state, whereas Durham has not.
