| Description | The American Independent Party state convention in California this year is set for June 6-8, in Sacramento, at a Denny’s Restaurant at 9256 3rd Street. This convention will choose presidential elector candidates. It is likely to receive a large attendance, because the state chair, Ed Noonan, apparently wants to nominate candidates pledged to Alan Keyes for president. This would effectively sever the American Independent Party of California from its status as the California affiliate of the Constitution Party, since the Constitution Party recently chose Chuck Baldwin as its presidential candidate.
The AIP state central committee will make the decision. The room reserved for the convention only holds 25 people. It is likely that the convention will need to move to a different location, since this meeting will attract a very large number of people. The AIP state central committee, according to the California election law, is not comprised of county central committee members of that party. Instead, the AIP state central committee is composed of the party’s candidates for partisan public office at the last election, and their appointees. The existing state central committee can appoint members (if the county central committee is not organized in that county) for all the partisan offices for which the party had no candidates in the last election. |
