Mississippi Judge Moves U.S. Senate Race from Bottom of Ballot to Near the Top of the Ballot

On September 12, a Mississippi State Circuit Court Judge ordered the ballot format to be changed. The state had proposed putting the Class One U.S. Senate seat at the very end of the ballot, even though the Class Two U.S. Senate seat is near the beginning of the ballot (just underneath president). The judge said both U.S. Senate seats should be near the front of the ballot. The state is appealing to the State Supreme Court. The case is Berger v Barbour. Here is a copy of the 7-page decision, courtesy of Daily Kos.
