Ballot won't identify candidate as Minuteman Project founder

The Orange County Register story explains:

"California Secretary of State Bruce McPherson has ruled that Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist cannot have his leadership of that group under his name on the 48th Congressional District special-election primary ballot.

The state's chief election officer also found that Republican Ed Suppe cannot list "veteran" under his name.

In both cases, the secretary determined that those ballot designations violated the election code, which says the candidate label must be a "principal profession, vocation or occupation."
