I don't think it's by making the statement "I am not a Democrat". Sheepshank Nov 2015 #65

Right, snark and no answer Rilgin Nov 2015 #72

The answer is in the filing requirements of each state. But candidates need to declare ucrdem Nov 2015 #74

You think he did not declare when he submitted forms to run as a Democratic Party Candidate? Rilgin Nov 2015 #79

In 25 years he hasn't yet declared as a Democrat in VT or any other state that I'm aware of. nt ucrdem Nov 2015 #80

Vermont is the only state in which his declaration matters and he has declared in the only way merrily Nov 2015 #82

He has several options including Democrat per 17 V.S.A. �2356: ucrdem Nov 2015 #91

He's done it. Suggesting otherwise would be ze loco, no, mon ami? merrily Nov 2015 #101

He's filed, yes , but never declared as a Dem to my knowledge. nt ucrdem Nov 2015 #107

Yes, he did and your knowledge has nothing to do with Vermont law. merrily Nov 2015 #110

He filed in Arkansas today according to another post Rilgin Nov 2015 #197

Great. How about a link? nt ucrdem Nov 2015 #109

Here are some links and further points. Rilgin Nov 2015 #196

As of Oct. 28, he hadn't filed in NH: ucrdem Nov 2015 #114

You are correct with regard to New Hamshire as of now. Rilgin Nov 2015 #148
