On August 10, Rocky De La Fuente and Jill Stein filed a lawsuit against the Oklahoma requirement that independent presidential candidates, and the presidential nominees of unqualified parties, file a petition with 40,047 valid signatures by July 15. The Complaint points out that the state irrationally requires more signatures for just a single candidate than for an entire new party. New parties this year needed 24,745 signatures. The Complaint also charges that the deadline is unconstitutionally early. De La Fuente v Ziriaz, w.d., cv-16-914.

ANY lawyers and ANY judges with ANY brain cells capable of noting that —
1. Every election is NEW.
2. Separate is NOT equal. Brown v. Bd of Ed 1954.
3. EQUAL ballot access tests for ALL candidates for the same office in the same area.
i.e. ALL of the SCOTUS ballot access cases have been perverted JUNK since 1968 — Williams v. Rhodes.
