Fulltime Democratic candidate Steve Young announced this morning an action-oriented approach as a Anti-Governator reaction to the scheduling of the Primary Election on Rosh Hashanah and Ramadan thereby insulting two major communities at once.
This action is essentially a religious nulification of the right to vote for the voting age person who strictly follows the rules of their beliefs.
The Steve Young for Congress Campaign will deliver to all Jewish and Islamic organizations and temples/mosques absentee ballots for use in both the Primary,of course the date in question, and General Election, if a General Election is necessary. Each organization shall have enough ballots for every voting age member.
Steve Young said this morning, “To ask people to violate their religous beliefs in order to express their political will, regardless of Party affiliation, isn’t the American way. These absentee ballots will allow each person to both express their political views and honor their beliefs at the same time. This is a heartfelt commitment of our campaign.”
This statement comes directly from Steve Young.
Um, do you mean nullification? Or will all Jews and Muslims be forced to become nuns on election day? 🙂
Nulification…..sorry.
nullification seems to have a different meaning than nulification. And the headline does say Nulification….not nunification….
Look in the body of the diary.
This action is essentially a religious nunification of the right to vote for the voting age person who strictly follows the rules of their beliefs.
Which election is this for? If it’s the primary, isn’t the date set in the State Constitution? (First Tuesday after the First Monday in March, I believe…) So, I’m not sure we can blame Ahhhhnold for that.
If it’s his special election/power grab, on the other hand, I’m pissed at the waste of money…
The Special Election in a Congressional Seat is governed by a statute that is not controlled by the Governor. It is highly complex but set in stone.
More complete explanation:
As it says in the headline:
California 48th Congressional Seat vacated by Chris Cox when he was appointed to head the SEC.
Open Primary on Oct 4. If no one gets 50% + 1 vote then the top vote getters from each party go to the General Election Dec 6, 2005.
This has nothing to do with the Statewide General Special Election Novemeber 8, 2005.
Wasn’t really familiar with the situation…thanks for the update.
