The Maine Secretary of State will file a response in U.S. District Court by February 17, in Libertarian Party of Maine v Dunlap, 2:16cv-2. The Libertarian Party is challenging the decision by the Maine Secretary of State that the party is not ballot-qualified. The lawsuit also challenges the December 1 deadline for groups to qualify as parties. The party is seeking injunctive relief, so the case will move fast.

On February 10, the party’s request to file a brief in excess of the page limit was granted.
