Idaho Secretary of State Seems to Hint that He Won’t Appeal Ballot Access Decision

This Idaho Spokesman story, at the very end, carries quotes from Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysursa, as to the April 19 federal court decision that struck down the Idaho procedures for independent presidential candidates. The quotes seem to show that Ysursa will ask the legislature to reform the laws early next year, and that he prefers not to appeal.

The decision says it is not rational for Idaho to require 1,000 signatures for all non-presidential statewide independent candidates, and then require 6,500 for independent presidential candidates. The decision also struck down the ban on out-of-state circulators.
