Oral Argument Set in Connecticut Discriminatory Public Funding Lawsuit

On June 6, a U.S. District Court in Connecticut will hear argument in Green Party of Connecticut v Garfield, 3:06cv-1030. This is the case that challenges the severely discriminatory aspects of Connecticut’s public funding law. All candidates must collect a certain number of $5 contributions, in order to receive public funding. However, candidates who are not nominees of parties that polled 20% in the last election must in addition submit petitions, to qualify.
