The Tennessee Green Party and the Tennessee Constitution Party have filed this brief in the Sixth Circuit, in the ballot access case that those parties won in U.S. District Court in February 2012. Tennessee is trying to persuade the Sixth Circuit to reverse the U.S. District Court.

Ballot access cases filed by minor parties, relating directly or indirectly to whether certain presidential candidates should be on the ballot (or should have easier procedures), are also pending in Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Virginia. Michigan will soon be on that list.
