Illinois LP demands that Republicans abide by election law

But Bush will not be nominated until Sept. 1, when the GOP holds its national convention in New York City. Therefore, his name cannot legally appear on the ballot as a Republican unless the law is changed, Trigg points out.

The proper solution, he says, is for the board to insist that Bush's name appear as an independent -- as the law allows -- or to ease ballot access for all political parties, not just the Republicans.

Would be funny if he couldn't get on the ballot at all.

1. I can just see the GOP trying to get all the write-in ballots counted

for Bush (in Illinois) when all that they have to go with on the ballot is an "X" (both in the write-in space and on the signature blank in the "voter registration"). (Not even a W).
