The September 1, 2007 printed Ballot Access News said that the Tennessee Green, Libertarian and Constitution Parties were about to file a lawsuit, challenging the Tennessee definition of “party”. The law is so restrictive, no party other than the Democratic or Republican Parties has petitioned in that state successfully since 1968.

Unfortunately, the veteran ballot access attorney who was doing the lawsuit was severely injured last month, and he won’t be able to file the lawsuit. Fortunately, another experienced attorney has stepped in.
