“There have been plenty of satirical candidacies...”
Sure, but there is a big chasm between satire, or even publicity seeking, and fraud.
I’m sure Pat Paulson was eligible to serve as President.
I have no problem with people running for office, even this man, maybe he should consider running for mayor of his town or something.
But the FEC has just endorsed fraud and basically said: hey if it’s fraud that’s up to someone else to determine.
Don’t those commissioners take some sort of oath to uphold the law?
The question is do they have the authority to make the determination, and if they don’t, that needs to change. If they have the authority and aren’t using it, get them out and get someone in who will. But to talk of stringing them up, as some have (post 15) is not the right answer. Make sure they have the authority, and make sure they use it.
