Thanks for posting this. Very enlightening. Those people haven’t changed a bit, have they, LF? And if they got a response to their request within a day they obviously made the request to the AZ SOS office, not anybody in HI. If it was up to the HI people, they’d have gotten what they asked for after about 2 years.
Even if Ken wouldn’t qualify under #2 in the verification section of HRS 338-18, he would qualify under #3.
Nagamine is trying to say that he doesn’t qualify under #2 because she looked in ARS and couldn’t find anything about the SOS compiling a list. Apparently she doesn’t think the ballot has a list on it. She needs to look at 16-502 (found at http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/16/00502.htm&Title=16&DocType=ARS )
where it says (emphasis mine):
“E. The LISTS of the candidates of the several parties shall be arranged with the names of the parties in descending order according to the votes cast for governor for that county in the most recent general election for the office of governor, commencing with the left-hand column.”
Bennett is absolutely correct to make the default setting that of Obama NOT being on the ballot. These people can stall forever, arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. But they need to know the ballgame has changed. They are BEHIND in this game, and if they go into a stall, they’re just going to insure that THEY lose.
I agree.
