Ballot Access News
SAM (Serve America Movement) is a new political party that recently won qualified status for itself in New York. Its platform no longer includes any endorsement of a top-two system. Here is the new platform language concerning ballot access.
Previously, the party’s platform on ballot access endorsed top-two systems. The old platform said, “We believe that states themselves should sponsor non-partisan primary elections, in which all candidates, regardless of party, appear on the same primary ballot. This could either be a top-two primary system, as in California and Washington state, or a top-four primary, as suggested by Katherine Gehl and Michael Porter in their review of the American political system earlier this year.”
