"BALLOT ACCESS: Ohio. Message from Constitution Party Ohio State Secretary
As I’m sure many of you are aware, the State of Ohio passed legislation removing all minor parties (except the Green Party for now) from the ballot. As such, we are forced to have Darrell and Scott register as Independents and go through the lengthy and arduous process of gathering enough signatures to get them registered as Independents. The current law states that we will need to submit 5000 valid registered voter signatures to get them on the ballot. This means that it will be necessary to submit 7500-8000 signatures for certification by August 10th.
Darrell and his wife Joan will be in Ohio next week. We are still working on the arrangements; however, the dates are 6/16 – 6/18. We are anticipating them being in Southwest Ohio on the 16th, possibly Dayton or Cincinnati or a midpoint between. We are then thinking about Central Ohio (Columbus or surrounding area) on the 17th and Akron/Cleveland or surrounding on the 18th. We really need to get the word out on these events and pack the house. We are going to need volunteers that are willing to sponsor them and/or the meetings to make it a successful trip. IF you have a location you can recommend that we meet in these areas, please send your suggestions to me. The campaign is committing to Ohio and we need to be committed to the campaign. Ohio is sure to be a true battleground State in this election cycle. As they say, “As goes Ohio, goes the rest of the Nation”. I3PR
