Socialist Party Seeks Court Order for Ohio Ballot Access

On July 21, the Socialist Party USA filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Ohio, seeking to be recognized as a qualified party. The party’s presidential candidate already had a lawsuit pending against Ohio on the question of whether an independent petition may be circulated by out-of-state voters. That case is Moore v Brunner, 2:08-cv-224. The Socialist Party did not file a new case, but amended the original Moore complaint. It seems likely this latest aspect of the case will be before Judge Sargus, the same judge who ruled that Ohio must recognize the Libertarian Party of Ohio. Briefs are due August 1. There is no assurance that the judge will let the original Moore complaint be amended.

  1. “Over the weekend, we gained ground in our quest to gain ballot access in West Virginia, but we are still short of our goal by $14,400. The deadline for petitions is looming next week and unless we can bring in a few more circulators right now, we will fall short.”

    What does this have to do with the Socialist Party seeking access in Ohio ?

  3. I support Bob Barr, but please don’t spam this site for donations. Only a few people read this stuff anyway.

  4. When was the last time the SP was on the ballot in Ohio?

    I’m guessing it had to be sometime back in the 1940s?

  5. Do you not all know that the objective of these lawyers and judges is to delay, obfuscate, set up straw-men , and turn factual questions into something else , so that they can write 50 to 100 pp. about nothing?
