Two more presidential tickets have qualified to be placed on Washingtons general election ballot.
James Harris from the Socialist Workers Party has submitted to the Secretary of States Office the needed 1,000 valid signatures from registered voters along with running mate Alyson Kennedy.
And so has Gloria La Riva, who along with running mate Eugene Puryear are running under the flag of the Party for Socialism & Liberation.
They join independent Ralph Nader and running mate Matt Gonzalez, who submitted signatures last week to qualify.
The deadline for submitting signatures is Aug. 1 and elections officials believe there is at least one other party collecting signatures.
In case youre wondering and even if youre not its probably not Oak Harbors David Jon Sponheim of Americas Third Party, formerly the Cool Rock Party. From the get go he planned to merely ask voters to write him in on the general election ballot.
According to the video posted below, his strategy is to go after an untapped market people who dont vote. I wonder how he polls among unlikely voters?
At any rate, heres one of his YouTube videos. At the end he lets us know that he approves the message.
