On May 5, the first day of the North Carolina ballot access trial was held in state court in Raleigh. The hearing will also take most or all of May 6. The first day heard evidence from three Libertarian activists and one Green activist. The judge seemed very interested in the testimony. The state’s cross-examination seemed aimed at belittling the size of both the Libertarian and Green Parties. Here is an article from the Greensboro News & Record.

If we overturn NC–i’ll be ecstatic.
Too Bad the Constitution Party can’t seem to get state leaders, who will attend such court actions.
Help the Green Party get on the ballot in North Carolina and across the nation!
