California Supreme Court rulings bar LaFollette electors from ballot
Reactionary Western judges split four to three in California, blocking LaFollette independents the ballot. The decision claims electors are not public office candidates, despite a liberal construction of the state law. A petition of 50,000 voters sought thirteen LaFollette electors under Section 1188, but the majority held the electors must be nominated by a party in convention. The piece frames the ruling as an assault on the real will of the electors and quotes Chief Justice Myers and others to dispute the outcome.
