 Green Registrar Candidate Nicholson: Public Forums on 10/23 & 10/25

 

            New Haven, October 20, 2004 - Calvin L. Nicholson, Green Party candidate for New Haven Registrar of Voters will lead a discussion immediately following a FREE community showing of the documentary UNPRECEDENTED: THE 2000 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION on Saturday, October 23 at 2:30pm at the Stetson Branch Library at 200 Dixwell Ave. in New Haven.  This 50-minute documentary explores what happened in Florida before, during and after the 2000 election.  The New Haven Green Party, the New Haven Branch of the NAACP and the Connecticut Center for a New Economy are co-sponsoring this event. 

 

On Monday, October 25 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the Aldermanic Chambers, 2nd floor, 165 Church Street, New Haven, Mr. Nicholson will take part in a Meet the Candidates Public Forum, sponsored by the P.O.W.E.R. Network under the auspices of Christian Community Action's Advocacy and Education Project.  Elected representatives, as well as political candidates from the Democratic, Green and Republican parties have been invited to share their views and answer questions. 

To be elected as the Green Party candidate for Registrar of Voters in the City of New Haven, Mr. Nicholson must receive more votes than the Republican candidate.  In an election for Registrar of Voters, however, the Green Party candidate cannot be a "spoiler".  Even if Mr. Nicholson wins by getting more votes than the Republican, the Republican candidate still wins, because Connecticut General Statutes, Sec. 9-190, provide that: "if the candidate for registrar of voters of a major party is not one of the registrars so elected, such candidate of such major party shall also be declared elected registrar of voters."  

            Calvin L. Nicholson is a life-long resident of the Newhallville neighborhood and a product of the New Haven Public Schools-- graduating from Wilbur Cross High School in 1996.  He graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Physics from Yale University in 2000.  He currently works as a computer systems developer in Fairfield County.
