According to this article in The Militant, the Socialist Workers Party newspaper, the SWP is working to get on the ballot for the special U.S. House election in New York’s 9th district. The election will be in September. The party needs 3,500 valid signatures before July 13. As far as is known, no one else is attempting that petition. Of course, the six ballot-qualified parties don’t need a petition. The six ballot-qualified parties are Democratic, Republican, Conservative, Green, Independence, and Working Families.
The SWP candidate is Chris Hoeppner. The Democratic nominee is Assemblymember David Weprin and the Republican nominee is Bob Turner. The district is mostly in Queens, but includes part of Brooklyn as well.

How about a super-fast court case ???
Separate is NOT equal.
Brown v. Bd of Ed 1954
–regardless of ALL of the MORON cases since 1968 — Williams v. Rhodes onward.
I wish Hoeppner the best of luck, even though he is a totalitarian.
