On March 29, U.S. District Court Judge Liam O’Grady, Jr. denied Virginia’s attempt to dismiss De La Fuente v Alcorn, e.d., 1:16cv-1201. The issue is the Virginia law that forces candidates for presidential elector to reveal their entire Social Security number before an independent presidential candidate petition can begin to circulate. Now the case will continue and the state will be required to explain why this requirement is needed.
