On May 7, the Libertarian Party and the Green Party of Arizona asked the Ninth Circuit to reconsider the April 2015 decision in Arizona Libertarian Party v Bennett, 13-16254. The issue is the voter registration form, which gives the two largest parties a checkbox but requires voters who wish to register into any other qualified party to write-in the name of that party in the “other” line. The Ninth Circuit had this is only a trivial burden and upheld it on the basis of saving money.

I would strongly recommend that the litigants here look at our West Virginia form as an example to disprove this obviously bogus excuse. Our voter registration form lists Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Mountain, Unaffiliated, and Other Party________ – and if all goes well will be listing the Constitution Party within the next two years.
