Georgia Ballot Case Has Hearing in Eleventh Circuit

The 11th circuit says it will hear oral arguments in Coffield v Handel during the period March 1-5. The court will set the exact date in a few weeks. This is the case in which Faye Coffield tried to get on the ballot as an independent candidate for U.S. House in 2008. Although no one has completed the Georgia petition requirement for that office since 1964, it has always been tough to get the issue into court, because generally the petition is so difficult, no one even tries.
