All Briefs Now Filed in Arkansas Lawsuit Against Independent Candidate Petition Deadline

Here is the final brief in Moore v Martin, the lawsuit that challenges the Arkansas petition deadline for non-presidential independent candidates that was in effect in 2014 and also will be in effect in 2018. This is the reply brief of the plaintiffs. The U.S. District Court will now either issue an opinion, or rule that a trial is needed.

The challenged deadline is in March. As the Reply brief notes, last week the law was changed to make it even earlier, for 2016 but not other years. The new deadline is in November 2015.
