Today the court ruled in Jim Lendall's favor. The former State Rep. from Mablevale will be on the ballot as the Green Party's candidate for Governor. Secretary of State Charlie Daniels and Attorney General Mike Beebe made all attempts to block Lendall's freedom of ballot access, and failed. The biggest looser is Beebe, the Democrat's candidate for Governor. Now there is a possiblity that the extreme liberals will now vote for Lendall. Also Beebe has to worry about Rod Bryan, an Inderpendent candidate for Governor, who is also an enviromentalist.
However Daniels and Beebe are not finished with their fight against Lendall and the Green Party. They have plans to appeal the judge's decision, but I doubt they will have any success. Even if Lendall is finally blocked from the ballot, extreme liberals and enviromntalist still have an opportunity to vote for Rod Bryan.
The Shamgar Report endorses no candidate for Governor, but does support the right for Jim Lendall and Rod Bryan's right to appear on the November ballot.
