CA: Socialist Party Endorses Stewart Alexander for Governor

Bay Area Indymedia reports:
After running as the 2008 Vice Presidential Nominee for Socialist Party USA, Stewart Alexander has now received the endorsement of SPUSA to run as a candidate for California Governor on the ticket of the Peace and Freedom Party.  Stewart Alexander has membership in both socialist parties; he is a member on the State Central Committee (SCC) with the Peace and Freedom Party, and the California State Chair for Socialist Party USA. Stewart Alexander was a registered Democrat for more than 25 years and was involved in various political campaigns on a local and national level; however, seeing little difference between the two major parties, Alexander became actively involved with the Peace and Freedom Party in 1998. Alexander has been involved with Socialist Party USA since 2007.

Doesn't California allow fusion? Why doesn't he run on the SPUSA, P&F, and GP tickets?

California does not allow fusion voting. Maybe you are thinking of Oregon, which does.

According to Richard Winger at Ballot Access News, this posting: http://www.ballot-access.org/2010/02/02/colorado-bill-to-legalize-fusion/ California does allow fusion (comment #4).

Thanks for that link Jason. I couldn't find anything indicating that CA still has fusion of some sort. It's not clear though from Richard's comment how "limited" fusion is there. And I have no idea what the difference between "aggregated" and "disaggregated" fusion is.

Same here.
