December 6 is the deadline for the state of Georgia to file any opposition it wishes to file, before the U.S. Supreme Court, in Coffield v Kemp, the ballot access case.  Apparently Georgia chose not to file any brief, although neither did it tell the Court that it waives its right to file.  If the U.S. Supreme Court wants to hear from Georgia, it will ask Georgia to respond.

Also, December 6 was the deadline for any amicus curiae briefs in support of Coffield.  One was filed jointly by the Center for Competitive Democracy, the Coalition for Free & Open Elections, and the Free & Equal Elections Foundation.  Read it here.  COFOE paid for the printing and thanks everyone who has contributed to COFOE.

Here is the brief filed by Faye Coffield herself, a month ago.  Early next year the U.S. Supreme Court will say if it wants to hear this case.
