The Courthouse News Service has this story about the lawsuit filed on October 8 against the California law that permits some candidates, but not all candidates, to list their party registration on the ballot if they are running for Congress or partisan state office.
The article mentioned ‘Field v Bowen’, but Gautam Dutta did not argue that the two plaintiffs who wished to be the candidate of so called non-qualified parties were being denied the opportunity to run as candidates of their party. He made the totally silly argument that they should be “Independents”.
The issue of whether Debra Bowen was misreading SB 6 or whether it violated Proposition 14 was never raised.
