Talk:Ballot Access News

Untitled
The following run-on sentence appeared in the last version, so I split it into two sentences. "When ballot access restrictions are challenged in court it is often argued that such regulations are necessary in order to prevent "frivolous" candidates from cluttering the ballot and confusing voters, however, Winger has assembled evidence that unfair ballot access laws place an undue burden on citizens who wish to participate in the political process outside the two dominant political parties."

Do we know that Winger has assembled evidence? Are there sources for this? Should we say "Winger asserts that unfair ballot access..."? Rwlane 05:22, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

On October 8, 2022, Richard Winger revealed to his comments section at https://ballot-access.org/2022/10/07/forward-party-joins-the-board-of-the-coalition-for-free-open-elections-cofoe/#comments that Ballot Access News wasn't always called that: 'The whole reason I started Ballot Access News in 1985 was to publicize the Conyers bill, introduced for the first time in 1985. For the first year, the name of Ballot Access News was “HR 2320 News”. Then it expanded to cover news about ballot access generally, in 1986.' 2600:1000:B167:21A8:571:7E82:20D5:B83F (talk) 23:55, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
