The Justice Party has obtained qualified party status in Mississippi. This is the first state in which the Justice Party has qualified. Mississippi has a very tolerant law, which does not require any petition for party status. Instead, the group must show that it has a state organization in the state, by submitting a list of state party officers. Mississippi has had this law since 1890 and has never amended it. Mississippi is the only state that has never altered its original definition of “political party.”
