Scotusblog Posts Its Belief that North Dakota Libertarian Ballot Access Case May Interest U.S. Supreme Court

On March 16, Scotusblog posted its “Cert petition of the day”, which is Libertarian Party of North Dakota v Jaeger. Scotusblog editors had previously said they would feature this case, but now have actually done so. See here.

On March 12, North Dakota sent a letter to the U.S. Supreme Court, waiving its right to file a response.

In other U.S. Supreme Court news, the Court held a conference on March 16 on whether to hear Maslow v New York State Board of Elections, 11-857. The Court will probably reveal on March 19 whether it wants to hear this case. The issue is whether a state may make it illegal for someone to circulate a petition to get a candidate on the primary ballot, if the circulator is not a registered member of the candidate’s party. The lower court had upheld the New York state law, which prevented a wife from helping circulate her husband’s petition to get on a primary ballot.
