State law requires Secretary of State candidates in a primary election to have been a registered member of their party for at least three months prior to running. Also, in the year before filing a declaration of candidacy, they can’t have been registered with any other party.
Dunn freely admits to being a “recovering non-voter” who made his voice heard at the polls for the first time in last May’s special election on ballot measures. He has said that he registered shortly prior to that election—as a Republican.
That checks out. OC voter registration records show Dunn registered as a Republican on March 17, 2009. He then voted absentee in the May 19 election.
So Orly is wrong again. Color me unsurprised.
Hasn't voted in a dozen years yet all of a sudden he registers, switches parties, and hauls himself off the couch to cast a vote. Yep, sure, that instills confidence in elected officials.
So let's see...he registers as a (R) on March 17, 2009...then in November 2009, announces his candidacy to run as an (R) for SoS. That's what, 9 months...right?
According to Taitz, §8001(a)(2) says he could not be affiliated with any other party for 12 months prior to his official declaration of candidacy.
So, are you saying that the 9 month period in which he was a registered (R), and then announced his candidacy qualifies him per the rules? That checks out?
