Saga continues: Judge postpones hearing
on fate of Green Party Congressional
nomination; new hearing July 15

SAN FRANCISCO - Superior Court judge Ronald E. Quidachay Tuesday delayed -
again - a hearing to determine whether Green Party Congressional candidate
Terry Baum should be on the November ballot.

Quidachay - who has now given the city even more time to respond to a suit
by Ms. Baum - set the new hearing for July 15 in the same courtroom.

Supporters of Ms. Baum said the most recent delay - the suit was filed in
mid-April, and the primary held in early March - is frustrating, but they
will continue organizing district voters to unseat incumbent Nancy Pelosi
(D-8th District).

Ms. Baum was denied the nomination in the March Primary when the San
Francisco Elections Office refused to validate hundreds of write-in votes
for her. She is asking the court to overturn the decision by the city and
rule she has won her party’s nomination to Congress.

City elections officials initially informed Ms. Baum she had won the Green
Party nomination with 1,659 valid write-in votes. A week later the city
invalidated hundreds of ballots, claiming voters had failed to fill in an
“arrow” on the ballot correctly, technicality violating a state code.

But, Ms. Baum is urging the court to overrule the city because the state
elections code used to invalidate hundreds of write-in ballots is
unconstitutional, and that since city did count the ballots and initially
validate her nomination, the code was inapplicable.
Her brief notes several California and U.S. cases very similar to her case,
including the infamous 2000 Presidential race in Florida.

Ms. Baum has promised a strong campaign in the very progressive 8th
District against Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, who Ms. Baum has
heavily criticized for supporting the war in Iraq and voting for the
Patriot Act.
