On September 14, the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire filed a notice of appeal in its ballot access case. In the First Circuit, the case (Libertarian Party of New Hampshire v Gardiner) is case no. 15-2068. The issue is the 2014 law that made it illegal for a group to circulate the party petition during an odd year.

The other federal election law case in New Hampshire, concerning the state law that makes it illegal to photograph one’s own voted ballot and then show the picture to anyone else, will also be in the First Circuit. That law had been struck down on August 11, 2015, and the state filed its notice of appal on September 2. That case is Rideout v Gardiner, now no. 15-2021.
