Arkansas Independent Candidate Files Reply Brief in 8th Circuit, in Lawsuit Challenging March 1 Petition Deadline

On March 8, Mark Moore filed this reply brief in Moore v Martin, 15-3558. The issue is the Arkansas March 1 petition deadline for non-presidential independent candidates that was in effect in 2014 (when this case was filed) and which will be in effect in 2018, unless this lawsuit wins.

Moore was an independent candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 2014. For 2016, the non-presidential independent candidate deadline was even earlier in Arkansas; it was in November of the year before the election. This lawsuit does not relate to that 2016 deadline.
