The latest voter registration statistics for Fresno County just released by the Secretary of State show an increase in numbers for all six of California's political parties as well as increases in those who decline to state party affiliation and those who choose a party unrecognized in California. The numbers here are not particularly interesting, however, since increases in registered voters are linked to increases in the population.

The California Secretary of State has just released the list of “generally recognized” candidates she intends to place on the February 5, 2008 Presidential Primary Election ballot in California. Secretary Bowen can place additional candidate names on the list until November 29, when the list of presidential candidates is officially certified.

Here's the list of Peace and Freedom Party Candidates:

Stewart A. Alexander Murrieta, CA
John Crockford Clovis, CA
Gloria La Riva San Francisco, CA
Eric Thomas Chester Montague, MA
Dwight Welch Carbondale, IL
