On June 25, a pending lawsuit in U.S. District Court, concerning permissible party names, was settled out-of court. Jimmy McMillan had sued to force the state to agree to print “Rent is Too Damn High Party” on the November 2010 ballot, if it gets the needed 15,000 signatures. The state had said that label is too long. McMillan had filed the lawsuit, alleging the real motivation behind the state’s denial of his party label is moral disapproval of the word “Damn”. The case was settled when the state and the potential candidate agreed that “Rent is 2 Damn High” will be the label. See this 3-page settlement order. The case was McMillan v New York State Board of Elections, eastern district, 10-cv-2502. Thanks to Bill Van Allen for the link.
