First Impressions on Election Night

Preliminary results are in and they are dismal.

The LPWS has probably lost major party status and may have to revert to nominating conventions in 2006.

I-872 has passed. There will almost certainly be a legal challenge. However, one basis for challenge is that the LPWS will have the power, as a minor party, to nominate its candidates and the Ds & Rs arguably will not have that power. So, this time we may wind up on opposite sides of a suit. Alternatively, we may still be on the same side, all three parties arguing the right to nominate against the AG and the Grange. Deja vu.
