Board staff last found We The People organizers turned in enough valid signatures from registered and qualified voters to exceed the petition threshold in state law, which is currently 13,865. Petition collectors also must inform the signers of the general purpose and intent of the proposed party. Ray Bennett, a lawyer representing the Democrats in the lawsuit, pointed in court to We the People petition instructions stating the party’s purpose was simply to create a new party to put Kennedy on the ballot. That’s impermissible, Bennett said, and it would otherwise prompt all independent candidates to favor the easier political party signature process.
