Kent Bernbeck Files for Rehearing in Eighth Circuit in Nebraska Case on County Distribution Requirement for Initiatives

On August 4, Kent Bernbeck filed for reconsideration in Bernbeck v Gale, the case over Nebraska’s county distribution requirement for statewide initiatives. The Eighth Circuit had voted 2-1 on July 14 that he doesn’t have standing. But, as the petition for rehearing shows, Bernbeck’s original complaint had said he is a voter, and the Eighth Circuit already ruled in the past that a voter has standing to challenge a ballot access restriction.
