political : ONE ELECTION SYSTEM FOR MAJOR PARTIES, ANOTHER FOR SMALL? [+] ballot by Cathexis created Sun Sep 12, 04 The St. Petersburg Times reports that, against all probability, George W. Bush missed the filing deadline to get on the ballot in Florida! The deadline was Sept. 1, but because that's when the RNC was set, they didn't file the papers until Sept. 2. This, apparently won't stop the GOP though, and the Democrats are already folding: Florida Democratic Party chairman Scott Maddox said he knew the president's certificate of nomination did not reach the state until Sept. 2, but he said he decided not to make an issue of it. Not everyone is taking it so calmly, though. Julie Aires of the Green Party says, *If the Green Party or the Reform Party had not gotten their names in by Sept. 1 and they said, 'You missed the deadline,' I don't think we'd have a leg to stand on. They would have kept us off the ballot on a technicality if they could have.* Does it seem as if there is one set of election rules for the big and one for the little?
