On June 10, the North Carolina Libertarian and Green Parties asked the State Court of Appeals to reverse the lower court, and strike down the state laws on how new and previously unqualified parties get on the ballot. The appeal also asks that the law on how voters are treated when their party goes off the ballot be declared unconstitutional. Although this issue was emphasized at the trial, the lower court judge failed to issue a ruling on that issue.
I guess the Constitution Parrty didn’t make it this time either. Are they that dumb or what ?
Neither the Green Party, nor Ralph Nader as an independent, nor the Constitution Party, has ever been on the North Carolina ballot. It’s the law’s fault, not the fault of those campaigns or parties.
Is it possible that ANY of the lawyers have enough brains to get the appeals court judges to note that —
SEPARATE IS NOT EQUAL ???
Brown v. Bd of Ed 1954 — a mere 54 years ago.
I.E. to require EQUAL tests to get on the ballots for ALL candidates for the SAME office in the SAME area.
This stuff AIN’T atomic physics.
