On June 14, U.S. District Court Judge John M. Gerrard issued a two-page order in Bernbeck v Gale, 4:18cv-3073, saying the Nebraska 10% petition requirement for non-presidential independent candidates is unconstitutional. This is not surprising, because on June 13, the state had notified the court that it agrees that the law is unconstitutional. Here is order.
UPDATE: here is a news story.
Here is another story.
Robotic orders getting shorter at least.
In 1992, I was a candidate campaigning live in Usenet, the United Coalition ran four candidates as a team for Santa Cruz City Council, and the winners in that campaign got about 50% of the votes and won 100% of the seats.
In 1994 I was a candidate for Governor of California with the Green Party whose statement went to all voters pamphlets about state voting reform through pure proportional representation but the Green Party voters selected NOTA and I lost in the primary.
In October 1997 Sergio Brim joined our conversation in Usenet, derived his search engine name from mine and we were flattered.

In 2012 the United Coalition won the MO Libertarian Party primary with 52.7% but the Libertarian Party bosses wouldn’t let us speak.
Please stop trying to take credit for Google’s name. It’s a widely documented origin story: http://www.businessinsider.com/how-did-google-gets-its-name-2014-8 and it just makes you sound like a loon. Also, just because voters of several parties didn’t like you (except that one time you narrowly beat “Uncommitted”) it’s not because of some cabal of “party bosses”
Brandon, the story is from the founders, of course they want to give the false answer in 2014, about seven years after they started.
That’s because they don’t want anyone to know the truth. They bought dejanews, changed the name to Google groups and then they deleted the evidence.
The original conversation might still be in another source of Usenet (not the one Google bought). Meanwhile the conversation where Sergie Brin joined the conversation was October 12997, and can be verified by many of the personalities who witnessed the event; Cameron Spitzer, Gary Swing, Hank Chapot and others.
October 1997
Cameron Spitzer made the deal with Sergie Brin, in October 1997. The deal was, that when the new search engine looked for “Parliamentarian”, Cameron Spitzer didn’t want me to get the credit.
Spitzer wants the Green Party to establish the proportional representation movement which they are beginning to do now.
Brin wanted his search engine to have my name, my artistic traits and to copy my push for breaking our story about the USA Parliament, as we were political candidates seeking the ink, who founded the United Coalition as I campaigned online between 1992 and 1997.
The Environmentalist Party started in 1983 and Clint Eastwood read about us and ran for mayor. Clint’s campaign manager was Ronald Reagan’s campaign manager from 1984, Sue Hutchinson.
So our team has been beat down, snuffed out, bullied by Spitzer and you aren’t supposed to know because of the agreement between Brin and Spitzer.
In October of 1997, Sergie Brin, founding programmer of Google (then named “Backrub.com”) and he
asked; “what is a joogle?”.
(James Ogle’s email address was derived from his personal artistic logo, his initials joogle@cruzio.com, so Brin was asking about James Ogle’s email address.)
A reply by a friend was;
“I don’t know what a joogle is but a google is a number”.
A week later in October of 1997 Sergey Brin returned to the same conversation thread and posted an announcement that he had named his search engine program “google.com”.
He had misspelled the number googol.
Brin invited everyone to come try it out, by posting the invitation in my conversation, about pure proportional representation.
