As noted earlier, on September 14, Tom Tancredo won his ballot access lawsuit, and will be on the November 2010 ballot as the Constitution Party’s nominee for Governor of Colorado.  Here is the 9-page decision.  The decision has a surprising twist.  It seems to conclude that Tancredo could not have been nominated at the Constitution Party’s state convention earlier this year, because he had been a registered Republican too close to the date of that convention.  But, Tancredo wasn’t nominated at the party’s convention.  The original nominee for Governor had resigned from the ticket and the party state committee had then replaced the original nominee with Tancredo, a process that has fewer restrictions on who can be chosen.

The decision says nothing about whether the plaintiffs (the people who tried to remove Tancredo from the ballot) filed their lawsuit too late.  Thanks to John Duffy for the link to the opinion.
