    This issue was covered well over a week ago already – it’s a non- starter.

    The Republicans and Democrats filed and made the deadline, but filed incomplete forms, because they had not “officially” nominated their candidates until their respective conventions (John McCain hadn’t even selected a running mate as of the deadline, and the republican filing therefore read “John McCain and running mate”. The parties waited until after their conventions to file finalized amended forms which could be placed on the ballot.

    Standard practice, no laws were broken

    If the forms were incomplete, then they did not make the deadline. Period.

    The law clearly states that the names of the candidates for the ballot must be certified by 5pm on August 26th. Neither were. Case closed and disqualification.
