"Unlike candidates from the established Democratic and Republican parties, independents are allowed a five-word statement of purpose..."

Can you imagine the anarchy if there were no "Allowers"?

Somebody has to decide what goes on a ballot or there really would be anarchy.

That doesn’t mean this woman was properly or improperly treated, it just means that election boards do work that is essential to democracy. This year in my county there were some candidates removed from the primary ballot. One guy had a whole sheet of signatures done in one person’s handwriting and another only had to get 37 signatures to get on the ballot but had so many signatures from outside her district of 3,400 people that she couldn’t even handle that. No “allowers,” that felon and that incompetent end up on the ballot and possibly controlling the business of a county of 50,000 people for four years.

That said, I think they should put her statement on the ballot. One of the great things about free speech is that it makes it much easier to spot the idiots.
