federal ballot access reform bill (1985)
This bill was originally introduced in 1985. I hope that it or a similar bill gets adopted. Below is the full text of the bill. A somewhat similar bill was later introduced in 2003/2004.
The basic premise of the 1985 bill is that Independent/minor party candidates -- who meet the Constitutional requirements - should generally -- in federal elections -- be given ballot access by submitting a petition signed by 1,000 voters.
