Vol. 72/No. 27      July 7, 2008

 
SWP certified for Colorado ballot
 
BY JOEL BRITTON  
DENVER—”You’re on the ballot,” declared Colorado election official J. Wayne Munster on June 17, referring to the Socialist Workers Party ticket for U.S. president and vice president.

Munster had examined the “statement of intent” and “acceptance of presidential electors” forms submitted by campaign supporters on behalf of James Harris and Alyson Kennedy. Harris is a stand-in for Róger Calero in Colorado. Presidential candidates are required to be legally eligible to take office in order to appear on the ballot. Under current law, only U.S. citizens are eligible for the office of president. Born in Nicaragua, Calero is a permanent U.S. resident.

Nine registered voters in Denver and Colorado Springs signed up as electors for the socialist candidates and contributed more than the required $500 filing fee.
