Issue Position: Elections

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012

1. The only electoral duty of the State government should be providing
for fair and efficient conduct of elections. Political parties, like any
private voluntary group, should be free from government control and
allowed to establish their own rules for nomination procedures and
conventions. All taxpayer-funded subsidies to candidates for public
office and political parties, including primaries and conventions,
should be eliminated.

2. I support the addition of the alternative "None of the above is
acceptable" to all ballots. I further propose that in the event that
"None of the above is acceptable" receives a plurality of votes in any
election, a new election shall be held for which none of the losing
candidates shall be eligible.

3. Campaign finance laws are unwarranted restrictions of free speech or
association and should be repealed.

4. Voters should have the power of referendum on all existing or new
legislation.
