A New Jersey U.S. District Court will hold a status conference in Lewis v Guadagno, 11-cv-2381, on Tuesday, May 10, at 10 a.m, in Camden. This is the case on whether the New Jersey Constitution violates the U.S. Constitution by requiring candidates for the State Senate to have lived in New Jersey for at least four years. Carl Lewis, a famous Olympic track star, is trying to get his name on the Democratic primary ballot for State Senate. The primary is June 7, 2011. New Jersey elects all its state officers in odd years. See this story.

UPDATE: see this story, which reveals that the Republican Governor of New Jersey is hoping that Lewis is kept off the ballot.
