On July 14, U.S. District Court Judge Sterling Johnson, Jr., refused to enjoin the New York state law prohibiting out-of-state circulators. Merced v Spano, e.d., 16cv-3054. His reason is that the lawsuit wasn’t filed until one week before the start of the petitioning window. The decision says that the Libertarian Party has been petitioning in New York state starting in 1974. However, the order also says the Plaintiffs have demonstrated a likelihood of success, at least in overturning the law that says circulators must be registered voters in New York, as opposed to just residents of the state.

Each State in the United STATES of America continues to be a sovereign independent NATION-STATE.
See last paragraph of the 1776 DOI.
Art. VII of the nearly dead 1787 USA Const.
i.e. nominating petitions are a part of the internal political system of each such State for the citizens of each such State.
Folks from other regimes are all ALIENS.
Try having a USA citizen do a nominating petition in Russia, China, Iran, etc. and see what happens — nothing good for such citizen.
Too many brain dead courts to count.
