On April 25, U.S. District Court Judge Garland E. Burrell cancelled the oral argument in Peace & Freedom Party v Bowen, which was to have taken place in Sacramento on April 26. He has not ruled yet, and will issue an opinion based on his reading of the briefs on both sides. The issue is whether the Secretary of State should have accepted the Peace & Freedom Party’s list of presidential candidates for printing on the party’s primary ballot, or whether she had the authority to delete one candidate, based on her investigation into whether that candidate, Peta Lindsay, meets the constitutional qualifications to be President.
