On March 19, U.S. District Court Judge Andre Birotte asked attorneys for the state of California to file an Answer to the Complaint in Soltysik v Padilla, c.d., 2:15cv-7916. This is the case over whether members of unqualified parties may have their party listed on the ballot. Current law says they can only have “party preference: none” printed on the ballot, if they are running for Congress or partisan state office. The plaintiff is a registered Socialist.
The U.S. District Court had dismissed this case some years ago, but then the Ninth Circuit reinstated it, so there will be a trial unless the state decides to settle the case.
ANY *disputed* FACTS — requiring a trial — more delays ???
