On February 7, the Illinois Green Party filed this cert petition in its ballot access case, Tripp v Scholz. The case concerns the ballot access procedures for state legislature, for unqualified party candidates and independent candidates. The lower courts had upheld the requirements, even though in 2016 not a single minor party for the legislature was able to get on the Illinois ballot. The only other states with no minor party legislative candidates on the ballot in 2016 were Georgia, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Tennessee.
