I see the election guidelines still have the old requirement that petition signatures be made in an ink color other than black, and that signers cannot indicate their signing by fax or email.
Why such antiquated rules? Merely to inconvenience those who are submitting or collecting signatures? Or is there a real concern about signature fraud among Dartmouth alumni?
Make it easier and there will be less need for petitioners to depend upon external resources for administrative support, which committee-nominated candidates have implicitly. Otherwise we help perpetuate the current "two party system" that people feel creates the divisiveness.

It's interesting that the Hanover Institute now has a laudatory page at activistcash.com, a site that provides "detailed and up-to-date information about the funding source of radical anti-consumer organizations." The Center for Consumer Freedom, which runs the site, is described in a Wikipedia article as a friend of Philip Morris, food processing corporations, etc. Joe Malchow also has friends there.
