Last year, the Arkansas Libertarian Party won its ballot access lawsuit in U.S. District Court, against the law that says newly-qualifying parties must choose all their nominees (except president) at least one year before the election. The state appealed. The case is Libertarian Party of Arkansas v Martin, 16-3794. Here is the party’s response brief in the Eighth Circuit, explaining why the U.S. District Court decision was correct. The state now has an opportunity to file a reply brief in a few weeks.
