The Tennessee Secretary of State’s brief in the Sixth Circuit is due on June 12, in Green Party of Tennessee v Hargett, 12-5271. The state’s brief will try to persuade the Sixth Circuit to remove the Green Party, and the Constitution Party, from the November 2012 ballot. The U.S. District Court had ordered that they be put on the ballot. The state will probably argue that those two parties have not shown a modicum of voter support.
In the meantime, even though the Constitution Party has filed its candidates with the state, the state’s web page does not include the Constitution Party nominees on the list of candidates. This is having a discouraging effect on the party’s candidates. Their attempts to campaign are injured because they are not found on the Secretary of State’s web page. The Green Party has not yet had its nominating convention.
The Democrats and their Republican buddies are at it again. Can’t let another Party get-in the action they consider only their entitled domain. Shame on them.
Oh I see we get the courts to engage in 3rd party discrimnation or a court backed pogrom persecution of 3rd parties.
If this was against a race or a group of people the anti-discrimination armies would be out in full.
Well don’t let party discrimination be the norm, counter sue if you are in a state that persecutes 3rd parties.
