BEFORE the FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION Lavora Barnes
BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION Lavora Barnes, Chair Michigan Democratic Party 606 Townsend Street Lansing, MI 48933 Complainant, v. John James for Senate P.O. Box 2969 Farmington Hills, MI 48333 Timothy Caughlin, Treasurer P.O. Box 2969 Farmington Hills, MI 48333 John James P.O. Box 2969 Farmington Hills, MI 48333 Respondents. COMPLAINT This complaint is filed with the Federal Election Commission (the “FEC” or “Commission”) pursuant to 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(1) against John James; John James for Senate and its Treasurer, Timothy Caughlin (collectively, “Respondents”). The available facts strongly suggest that the James campaign likely violated the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (“the Act”) and FEC regulations by soliciting and directing dark money spending in support of Mr. James’s election to the U.S. Senate through the use of a “Memorandum” leaked to Politico.1 The Commission should act immediately to investigate the full scope of the violation, prevent future illegal solicitation by Respondents and seek the appropriate penalties. 1 11 C.F.R. § 300.61. A. FACTUAL BACKGROUND John James is a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan.2 His principal campaign committee is John James for Senate (“the James campaign”).3 Senator Gary Peters is a U.S. Senator from Michigan. Senator Peters is a Democratic candidate for re-election to the U.S. Senate in Michigan in 2020.4 Senator Peters and Mr. James are therefore opponents in the 2020 U.S. Senate race in Michigan. One Nation is a section 501(c)(4) non-profit corporation that opposes the “Left” and “liberals.”5 Duty and Honor is a section 501(c)(4) non-profit corporation.6 On August 11, 2020, the news outlet Politico reported that no major independent groups supporting the Republican Party had bought airtime to disseminate television advertisements between August 11, 2020 to November 3, 2020 in support of Mr.

This was made crystal clear by Johnson’s “peace” offer. Stripped of its double-speak verbiage, the Johnson “offer” boiled down to this. The U.S. says it w ill pull out six months after it is satisfied the following conditions have been met: A ll forces of the “other side” have been withdrawn from the south. All north Vietnamese aid to the guerrilla fighters has been halted. A ll “ violence” in the south has subsided. The south Viet namese dictatorship agrees that the U.S. should leave. In short, the U.S. w ill consider leaving only after the com plete capitulation or crushing of the liberation movement. Such aims can only mean further escalation of the war. Arena of U.S. War W ill Be Extended Nor does Washington’s imperialist aims stop with south Viet nam. In addition to the daily bombings of north Vietnam, huge troops concentrations are being set up in Thailand. Troops have been moved into the demilitarized zone separating north and south Vietnam. After the U.S. elections, we can expect Washing ton to escalate the war against north Vietnam — possibly through invasion, systematic bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong, bombing of the dikes protecting the rice paddies of the Tonkin plain, or all of these.

Comparative Analysis of Successful Third Parties Sean Panzer a Thesis
Comparative Analysis of Successful Third Parties Sean Panzer A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies University of Washington 2013 Committee: Charles Williams Michael Allen Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Interdisciplinary Arts and Science ©Copyright 2013 Sean Panzer University of Washington Abstract Comparative Analysis of Successful Third Parties Sean Panzer Assistant Professor Dr. Charles Williams Interdisciplinary Arts and Science This thesis explores how the Republican Party (US) and the Labour Party (UK) were successful in becoming the rare examples of third parties that displaced a major party to become one of the major parties in a two-party system. In exploring this question the thesis first examines the political science ‘rules of the game’ that make it extremely difficult for third parties, followed by a historical/sociological comparative analysis of case studies of the Republican and Labour Parties to determine if there are similarities in their rise to power. The comparative analysis shows that under extreme conditions, a fundamental sociological and demographic change may occur which supports the addressing of issues that the major parties will be unable to adequately incorporate for fear of upsetting their core base supporters. It is under this context that a third party could ultimately be successful in rising to major party status. i Table of Contents Introduction …………………………………………………………………..…….... 1 Chapter I: Political Science Perspectives of Limitations on Third Parties ....….…… 7 Chapter II: Republican Party ……….……………………………………..……….… 30 Chapter III: Labour Party (UK) …………………………………………...…………. 63 Chapter IV: Conclusion …………………………………………………..…..………. 95 Bibliography …………………………………………………………………………. 102 1 Introduction As electoral results continued to roll in for the contentious 2000 presidential election, one of the presidential candidates took the opportunity to reflect upon the close nature of the results.

How Partisan Gerrymandering Limits Voting Rights by Alex Tausanovitch and Danielle Root July 8, 2020
How Partisan Gerrymandering Limits Voting Rights By Alex Tausanovitch and Danielle Root July 8, 2020 Every 10 years, each U.S. state redraws its electoral districts—lines on a map that have serious real-world consequences. If districts are drawn fairly, then the public can elect representatives who reflect the views of the population as a whole. But if the district lines are manipulated through partisan gerrymandering, then the legislature will be untethered from the popular will. The Center for American Progress has published a series of reports that analyze how partisan gerrymandering affects issues from gun violence prevention to access to health insurance to policies that are important to children and families.1 This issue brief explores how gerrymandering affects voting rights. In recent years, gerrymandered legislatures have pioneered other tools to stay in power, including making it harder for voters who oppose them to cast a ballot. It is a power grab on top of a power grab. Fortunately, both of these interrelated problems—gerrymandering and limits on the right to vote—are fixable. Indeed, citizens across the country seem to be fired up about reform.2 This could be the political moment to solve these problems and get American democracy back on track. This issue brief examines the only four states where, after the 2018 elections, the party that won a majority of state legislative seats received only a minority of the total statewide vote: North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Because of gerrymandering, these four states dramatically failed a basic test of democracy—votes did not translate into political power.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT of MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION MATT ERARD, Case No. 2:12-Cv-13627 District Judge St
2:12-cv-13627-SJM-MKM Doc # 55 Filed 01/09/14 Pg 1 of 71 Pg ID <pageID> UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION MATT ERARD, Case No. 2:12-cv-13627 District Judge Stephen J. Murphy, III Plaintiff, Magistrate Judge Laurie J. Michelson v. MICHIGAN SECRETARY OF STATE RUTH JOHNSON, in her official capacity, Defendant. / REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO GRANT IN PART AND DENY IN PART DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO DISMISS [46] Plaintiff Matt Erard wants to run for Congress as a nominee of the Socialist Party of Michigan and desires to vote for the Party’s other nominees for political office. The Socialist Party of Michigan, however, has not been able to qualify for placement on Michigan’s general-election ballot since 1976. In 2012, the Socialist Party made some efforts to satisfy the requirements of Michigan Compiled Laws § 168.685 and thereby petition Michigan’s Secretary of State, Defendant Ruth Johnson, to place the Party on the November 2012 general-election ballot. But the 925 signatures the Socialist Party of Michigan collected fell well short of the 32,261 required by § 168.685(1). Erard maintains that this was, in significant part, because § 168.685, when combined with other related ballot-access regulations, is too onerous. In fact, Erard believes that it so difficult for the Socialist Party of Michigan to petition its way onto Michigan’s general-election ballot that Michigan’s petitioning scheme impermissibly burdens his First and Fourteenth Amendment rights to associate for the advancement of his political beliefs and to cast his vote effectively.
