The Tennesseean, Nashville’s daily newspaper, has this story in its February 7 issue, telling readers that on Friday, February 3, a U.S. District Court Judge struck down the law on how new and minor parties get on the ballot. The story is accurate, but incomplete, because it fails to say that the judge put the two plaintiff political parties, the Green Party and the Constitution Party, on the 2012 ballot.
I noticed that, and had hoped to beat them all to it.
Unfortunately I did not, but I will be posting something soon — and I was going to, and will, highlight the fact that these two parties are on the ballot. That’s big news here, as not since 2000 have we had anything close to it.
Thanks as always for the resource you provide here.
