On August 28, Allan Stevo asked the 7th circuit to hear his appeal. He is an independent candidate for U.S. House. A U.S. District Court had upheld the law he had challenged, requiring him to get 5% of the last vote cast on his petition (approximately 10,000 signatures) even though state law would only have required exactly 5,000 signatures if he had been running in 2002 or 2012. The case is Stevo v Keith.
