Libertarians Sue to Have Romney Kicked Off Washington Ballot

As I first reported some weeks back, the Washington State Republican Party's failure to nominate a candidate for US Senate in 2010 appears to have cost them "major party" status under the letter of RCW 29A.04.086. This failure should in turn have required Mitt Romney to qualify for Washington's presidential ballot under rules and deadlines applied to "minor parties," a deadline that has long since passed.

Today the Libertarian Party of Washington State filed suit (PDF) to have Romney's name removed from the November ballot:

The suit seeks an order declaring that the Washington State Republican Party is “minor party” for purposes of the 2012 general election and directing the Secretary of State to issue ballots for the November election that do not contain the printed name of any Republican Party nominee.

3. It won't mean too much because President Obama will win Washington state anyway.

If Romney is not on the ballot it will just be an embarrassment for the Romney and the Romney campaign.

Haven't they seen us Dems operate long enough to know it just doesn't work?

6. I'll bet $20 bucks that Richy Romney is still on the ballot

The Republicans will find a loophole like they always do.
