On April 14, the Kentucky Libertarian Party, and the Kentucky Constitution Party, filed this reply brief in Libertarian Party of Kentucky v Grimes, e.d., 3:15cv-86. The lawsuit challenges the Kentucky ballot access laws for new and minor parties. Kentucky is one of eleven states that doesn’t have a procedure for a group to transform itself into a qualified party in advance of any particular election. In addition, Kentucky is one of only two states which applies a vote test to determine if a group polled enough votes to qualify for party status, but only counts the presidential vote, not the vote for any other office.
Are there ANY lawyers with ANY brain cells capable of detecting that —
1. Each election is NEW.
2. Separate is NOT equal. Brown v. Bd of Ed 1954
3. Thus – EQUAL ballot access tests for ALL candidates for the same office in the same area.
