I thank Jerry Goldfeder for having stimulated this
interesting exchange about ballot access.  I am
surprised that anyone on this list favors keeping Bush
off the Illinois ballot.  The posters don't
acknowledge that the voters are being harmed by such
shenanigans.  When a candidate with substantial voter
support is kept off the ballot, the voters who desire
to vote for that candidate are disenfranchised.  Where
is the concern on this list for the voters?  Have we
forgotten what the function of ballots is?  Ballots
are for the purpose of letting voters express their will.
