Federal Court Will Hold Hearing in New Mexico Ballot Access Case

The federal court that is handling the New Mexico ballot access case will hold a hearing on September 29. Libertarian Party of New Mexico v Vigil-Giron challenges New Mexico’s requirement that after a party is qualified (to nominate candidates by convention), then it must submit a separate petition for each candidate so nominated. The party argues that since it already submitted a petition to qualify the party itself, there is no state interest in requiring any more petitioning.
