On December 9, U.S. District Court Judge Raymond Dearie granted New York state’s request for more time to respond to the lawsuit Credico v New York State Board of Elections, eastern district, 10cv-4555. The state must now file its answer by January 28, 2011. This is the lawsuit that challenges New York state discrimination in matters relating to fusion. The law permits a candidate who is nominated by two qualified parties to be listed twice on the ballot. It also permits a candidate who is nominated by one qualified party, and one unqualified party, to be listed twice. But someone who is nominated by two unqualified parties can only be listed once.

let the political parties have as many fusion lines as they wish but only an equal total font size — equal in total to the maximum font sized single line party / or in this case the LPNY and other unqualified party line would be two, three, or four or more times the font size of either the GOP or DEM line (or the minor qualified party lines)
This would teach everyone the true value of equal protection and down-side/penalty of political ballot access “fusion”.
Would the voters be given equal protection magnifying glasses ???
Scanners — office box for each office
All candidates listed with all labels. Vote for N different candidates at most.
What is the fixation with fusion in certain States anyway ???
— since the different party hack gangs do NOT have the SAME platforms allegedly.
