 | | A partial rationale was that each party has the same opportunity to select which offices for which it will nominate candidates and thus determine which office will be the one highest on the ballot for which the party nominates the candidate. |
 | | In the context of the Communist Labor Party, it had only one candidate and that candidate clearly did not receive sufficient votes to qualify the party against the statewide standard of one percent of 1,767,344 votes, or 17,674. |
 | | As to the American Independent Party, the issue is whether it can automatically requalify on the strength of the votes received for one of its nominees for the office of Regent of the University of Michigan, where that office was the principal office in some, but not all, of the precincts throughout the state. |
