      <![CDATA[Thanks for this piece Greg.
    
    Another consideration is this:  When Eugene came before the Green Party to seek our nomination he did so without foreknowledge that he would win the party nomination.  Indeed, since the South Carolina Green Party votes by consensus, meaning that 100% of the people must agree or stand aside for the party to nominate a state level candidate, Eugene could well have lost our nomination.  If he had lost it, by the state's reasoning, his name would not have appeared on the primary ballot.  No party can be given control over another party's ballot line, and this is what the state appears to want to do.
    
    Most importantly though is this question:  What serves the voters of the 115th District the best?  Move voices and choices in November, or less democracy for the voters in the low Country?

      <![CDATA[Paul makes a good point. Especially considering that, had Eugene won the Dem nomination, his name would have been on the ballot multiple times (for the Working Families, Dem, and Green parties) but since he lost one, he can't have any.

      <![CDATA[This interpretation of this law would seem to imply that if someone lost their attempt to get the Green nomination, they'd be disqualified from getting the Democratic or Republican nomination.  Why should one party's decision's prevent another party from getting the candidate of their choice?
