Ballot Access News - John McAfee Says He is Founding a New Political Party

And the main story:

Software pioneer McAfee files paperwork to run for president

The antivirus software pioneer John McAfee on Tuesday filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for president.

The paperwork was confirmed as authentic by Kyle Sandler, who is identified as one of the campaign’s directors and responded to a request for comment from a contact form on McAfee’s personal website. The filing lists an Alabama address, and noted that McAfee would be “founding a new party yet to be announced.”

Questions were initially raised whether the eccentric founder of the eponymous named anti-virus software company — who describes himself as a “eccentric millionaire & still alive” on his Twitter profile — would be eligible to run since many profiles about him note that he was born in the United Kingdom.
But McAfee is eligible to run because he was born on a U.S. Army base in the United Kingdom to an American serviceman, according to Sandler. His mother was of British decent. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who won the Republican nomination in 2008, has a similar story....

...In terms of policy issues, he told Wired that the federal government is “illiterate” on the underlying technology that supports everyday life, from smartphones to military hardware to communications.

Here is his FEC form:

The Hill article claims that he moved to somewhere in Tennessee after returning to the USA, but the FEC form shows a residential (and not commercial) address in Opelika, AL, which is between Montgomery, AL and Atlanta GA, right off of I-85.

John McAfee announces he's running for President

John McAfee, the antivirus software magnate who fled Belize after police tried to question him for murder, confirmed to CNNMoney that he plans to run for President in 2016 and that he'd created his own party -- the Cyber Party.

McAfee explained that he decided to run after being encouraged by "almost everyone" he knows and meets.

"I have a huge underground following on the web," McAfee said. "I promise you I will win because I have the votes."

Here is his campaign website:

And a screenshot from his website:

The one interesting thing about his website, which imo is pretty damned elementary looking for a guy who is a software pioneer, is the "HOW TO VOTE" link, which is then sorted by state, with multiple links. That is indeed a helpful thing to have at a campaign website.

FACIT: Were John McAfee to gain any traction at all, he would be the first candidate for president ever to have lived a pretty long time in a foreign land (other than as a dignitary, like Jefferson did as an Ambassador) and would be the first sought-after fugitive from said foreign land. He would also be the first candidate ever to have allowed himself to be photographed pointing a gun at his head. He is described as "erratic", "unstable" and such. So, although I don't think he has a snowball's chance in hell at winning the presidency, I can imagine his newly formed "Cyber Party" getting some membership and some votes.....

Will he be for infrastructure, science, r&d and education? I am assuming yes...Which makes him a better choice then Ted cruz, Rand Paul and Shitturm!

 

[Two Thumbs]

hmmm

I use McAfee and I haven't gotten a virus in years

My town hasn't been ransacked by frost giants b/c Odin got rid of all of them.

so

Odin/McAfee 2016

 

[JimH52]

Yup, we need another lunatic to run for President. Trump wasn't nuts enough....

If you look carefully at the pistol, you can see light reflecting off of it where it should be reflecting off bullets.

He's got an empty pistol to his head.

So we need to find a new running mate for Odin, just give McAfee SoS, that should make him happy

 

[Preacher]

Any idea what he is running on?
Not much on his campaign site.

Ummm, no. The light is passing through the gap between the frame and cylinder. There's no way to know if the revolver is loaded from this angle.
