U.S. District Court Judge Corrects One of her Errors in Debates Decision

On August 15, U.S. District Court Judge Rosemary Collyer revised her opinion in Johnson v Commission on Presidential Debates, 1:15cv-1580. Her original decision of August 5 had said that the Obama and Romney campaigns in 2012 had set the 15% polling threshold. The revised opinion says that the Commission on Presidential Debates set that rule and that the Obama and Romney campaigns had agreed to it.

She has not corrected her other factual errors: she omitted Ralph Nader from the list of presidential candidates who were on the ballot in states with a majority of the electoral college in 2004 yet polled under 1%; and she still lists Virgil Goode in 2012 as having been one of those candidates, when in fact he was not on the ballot in states containing a majority of the electoral college.
