The Elections Department official who sent us the letter about political party names not appearing has clarified the language on ballots to which he is referring. See screenshot below. I sent him the following reply:
That’s a good idea. I would take out the word “legal” and substitute “new rules from the city elections office”

All right, thank you for clarifying this Matt. Of course, it would have been preferable to have the information before deciding which name(s) to list when filing. Has it been added to the Elections Department’s guide to filing ballot arguments?
Also, can you tell me how “political party” is being defined here? Does it apply for instance to Democratic Party clubs? Why or why not?
Please let me know if you can think of any other concerns, or questions to ask. I’m tempted to ask that our opposition be listed on the ballots as “a qualified political party which cannot be named for legal reasons”, as this would spur curiosity and help expose the censorship. What do others think of this idea?

Thanks for weighing in, Richard.
I suspect the Elections Department may object to that wording on the grounds that they are just following state law, even though they are the ones interpreting and implementing it.
