On September 22, the 6th circuit issued a four-sentence opinion, denying injunctive relief to Charlie Morrison, who wanted to run as an independent candidate for US House in Ohio’s 15th district. He had enough valid signatures, but had voted in the Republican primary this year and had run for Republican Party county committee. Therefore, he had been denied a spot on the ballot on the grounds that he isn’t truly independent. Ohio does not have registration by party, and the law is vague about who may or may not qualify as an independent. Morrison v Colley, 06-4216. The court said a longer opinion will be issued later.
