On July 9, the Secretary of State of South Dakota asked a U.S. District Court to dismiss the ballot access case that had been filed by the Libertarian and Constitution Parties on June 15. The case is Libertarian Party of S.D. v Krebs, 4:15cv-4111. The lawsuit challenges the March 1 petition deadline for newly-qualifying parties. The state says that because the voters will be voting on whether to repeal that deadline, and the other parts of SB 69, the case should be dismissed, because no one can predict whether the law will be repealed.
The response of the political parties is due July 30, 2015.
The MORON courts have been totally brain dead about election law cases since 1776.
The INJURY happens when the govt hacks do or NOT do something in violation of the LAW.
i.e. a Complaint is filed claiming such violation — regardless of whether or not the LAW is LATER repealed —
unless magically the LAW is repealed retroactively (which may be another violation of the LAW).
Well… if David Nolan and Howard Phillips were carved on Mount Rushmore they would think differently!
The Libertarian and Constitution Parties in South Dakota and elsewhere are wasting precious time and resources by using the court system to sue governments and other entities.
The only way to unite is to lead by example and demonstrate inclusion and teamwork.
The 9th USA Parliament has been doing this for twenty consecutive years and it works fine.
This is Secretary James Ogle [Republican], one of two Secretaries of the 9th USA Parliament.
I had started this effort in 1994 as a unity between the USA Environmentalist and Green Parties’ candidates for US President; Randy Toler [Green] and Mike Bogatirev [Environmentalist] for President in 1996. I was the Secretary/Treasurer for both candidates for the USA national government’s filings with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) in that election cycle and the USA Parliament began soon afterwards by electing 125 US Presidential candidates, categorized under 25 different political parties (and independents), on August 6th, 1995, the date when we first gained the official recognition from the FEC.
Look what was done to my name in October 1997:

We have been maintaining the voting for 20 consecutive years and now because of this, our team has grown to a worldwide presence.
We are functional on five geographical levels; 1) International, 2) national (USA and many other countries to a smaller degree), 3) Super-state (USA), 4) Mini-state (USA) and 5) County Micro-state (USA).
