(November 12, 2015 ) Republican
presidential candidate Andy Martin will hold a Concord, New Hampshire news
conference today, Thursday, November 12th when he files a Complaint with the Ballot
Law Commission seeking to have Senator Bernie Sanders removed from the 2016 Democratic
Party presidential primary ballot. Andy, currently inactive as an adjunct professor
of law, has decades of election law experience at the federal and state level.
A copy of Andy’s Complaint (without repeating the standard
campaign letterhead) is self-explanatory and follows:
Hon. William Gardner
c/o Ballot Law Commission
State Capitol
COMPLAINT CHALLENGING
THE LEGALITY OF BERNIE SANDERS RUNNING AS A DEMOCRAT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
-
REQUEST FOR
REMOVAL OF SANDERS NAME FROM PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY BALLOT
Dear Secretary Gardner:
I would like to file a Complaint with the Ballot Law
Commission asking that the name of Bernie Sanders be removed from the 2016
Democratic Party presidential primary ballot. Mr. Sanders is clearly ineligible
to appear in New Hampshire on a
Democratic Party ballot.
By filing this Complaint I mean no disrespect to Senator
Sanders. I find him entertaining and provocative and I occasionally even agree
with him. But he is clearly ineligible as a matter of New
Hampshire law to appear on a Democratic Party primary
ballot as a “Democrat.”
Mr. Sanders claims that he can run as a Democrat in New
Hampshire “because there is no party registration in Vermont .”
That claim is a complete red herring.
The reason Sanders is ineligible to run as a Democrat in New
Hampshire is because he was elected as an
Independent, and by his own admission is currently serving as an Independent in
Vermont . Certainly in so far as
candidates are concerned in New Hampshire ,
party affiliation is not like a flag of convenience or change of underwear (to
use Mr. Sanders’ own phraseology).
Parties mean something in New
Hampshire .
Here is my evidence challenging Senator Sanders (see
attached documentation):
1. I am attaching the 2012 “Statewide Candidate Information
Publication” from Vermont . The
state-issued document makes clear that “The position statement(s) in this
publication are written by each candidate and reflect the opinion of the
candidate.” The document also claims “All candidate information was
prepared and submitted to us by the candidate.” Sanders claims “Bernie is now
the longest serving Independent in U.
S. congressional history.” The web link is:
https://www.sec.state.vt.us/media/213562/2012%20Candidate%20Info%20Pub.final.10.22.12.pdf
2. On the U. S. Senate web site, Sanders as of November 11th
identifies himself as an “Independent,”
not a Democrat. His senate colleague from Vermont
clearly identifies himself as a Democrat. The distinction between the two
senators is irrefutable. In his Senate biography Sanders again claims to be
“the longest serving independent
member of Congress in American history.” The web links are:
http://www.senate.gov/senators/contact/senators_cfm.cfm?State=VT
http://www.sanders.senate.gov/about
Since Sanders currently identifies himself as an Independent
in the Senate, there is no lawful way he can run as a Democrat in New
Hampshire when he claims to be an Independent in Vermont
and Washington , DC .
A candidate can’t switch parties from state to state, or from public office in Washington ,
DC to political campaign in New
Hampshire .
I ask that Sanders’ name be removed from the 2016
presidential primary Democratic Party ballot and that if he objects that a
hearing be conducted by the Ballot Law Commission, at which time I shall appear
to prosecute my Complaint.
Sanders is, of course, free to run for president in New
Hampshire as an Independent even if he is
disqualified as a Democrat.
I would appreciate all
responses/communication/correspondence by fax or email as I am traveling on a
nationwide basis in my own presidential campaign and regular mail takes time to
catch up. I hope the Commission will also try to accommodate my schedule.
Respectfully submitted,
ANDY MARTIN, J. D.
