Not sure what your assertion here is. Are you suggesting the Division of Elections should NOT be rejecting candidates who file no form? That’s certainly the Libertarian stance, here. Not sure if I agree with it, but it’s certainly an interesting topic for discussion.

The use of the word "frequently" suggests often or usually, but not all the time or never. Which suggests that the Board picks and chooses which applications to reject or accept instead of following the rules as written.

Like a baseball umpire who "frequently" calls a pitch a strike if it enters the strike zone. Sounds like favoritism.
