The Free and Equal Elections Foundation announced today that renowned ballot access crusader Richard Winger has accepted an invitation to join the Board of Directors of Free & Equal.
Richard Winger, of http://www.ballot-access.org/, is the leading advocate for reforming restrictive ballot access laws across the nation. Winger is regarded as a formidable authority on election law, having testified as such in countless court cases and legislative hearings across the country, and having been published in journals ranging from the Journal of Election Law to the Fordham Urban Law Review.
“We are thrilled to have Richard Winger join the board of directors of Free and Equal,” said Founder and Chairman of the Board Christina Tobin. “Richard brings with him a wealth of knowledge and an unmatched determination to reform ballot access laws. No one has worked harder to ensure that the voters have a real choice in the ballot box over the last forty years.”
Winger is the editor and publisher of Ballot Access News, a newsletter covering Independent and Third Parties, as well as developments in election law reform. Ballot Access News is published monthly and is available online at http://www.ballot-access.org/.
The Free and Equal Elections Foundation is a non partisan, non profit 501c(4) organization dedicated to eliminating restrictive ballot access laws that target Independent and Third-Party Candidates.
On January 21st, 2009, the day after Inauguration Day, Free and Equal will announce an ambitious nationwide campaign to combat restrictive ballot access laws.
That is truly fantastic news. Richard is very knowledgeable and has supported many on the quest for ballot access. Thanks to all of you who are working on ballot access across America.
