After failing to convince Oregon election officials to bar Libertarian candidates from running for office, the state Republican Party is turning to Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum for help in its attempts to disqualify several minor party candidates.
LOL:
“An investigator with the Elections Division told Smith he didn’t provide evidence that the party violated state election law, and that state election officials don’t regulate internal party disputes.”
But the killer bit:
"Under the Libertarian Party’s current constitution and bylaws posted online, candidates are supposed to be nominated by a mail or electronic election, unless the party’s board of directors lacks the money to run a mail election and votes to hold a convention instead. This year, the party scheduled a convention in Moro, but it didn’t have enough members show up to make a quorum.
The constitution also says that the board can elect a member of the Libertarian Party as its nominee for an office if the primary election does not yield a nominee or if the winner and all runners-up are ineligible, unable or unwilling to be the nominee."
