South Carolina permits fusion. This year, two ballot-qualified minor parties definitely wanted to list Barack Obama as their presidential nominee, and a third ballot-qualified party inclined toward Obama as well. However, the Obama campaign has declined all those nominations. Therefore, the Working Families Party, the United Citizens Party, and the Independence Party, will simply have no presidential nominee.
Last month, South Carolina agreed that if a presidential candidate did have a nomination from multiple parties, and if the parties jointly nominated the same slate of presidential elector candidates, then all votes would count.
The deadline for submitting names for the ballot was September 10. The three parties don’t have any recourse now since Obama declined.
Let me know if you can explain why Obama would give up this votes.
