COFOE will hold a board meeting on Sunday, August 18, at 1:30 pm, at the law office of James Clymer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. COFOE was established in 1985. It is a very loose coalition of most of the nation’s nationally-organized minor parties, plus groups that care about how minor parties and independent candidates are treated in the United States.
COFOE’s latest project has been filing an amicus curiae case in the U.S. Supreme Court in Hall v Merrill, the only ballot access case now pending in that court. It arose in Alabama, case number 18-1362.
TOO loose to detect ??? –
1. Separate is NOT equal. Brown v Bd of Ed 1954
2. Every election is NEW.
3. INDIVIDUAL PERSONS are nominated.
4. INDIVIDUAL PERSONS are elected.
5. Adjective in 14-1 EPC is EQUAL.
6. Thus – EQUAL ballot access laws for ALL such INDIVIDUAL PERSONS.

Mere 51 years since SCOTUS HACKS mystified ballot access in 1968 Williams v Rhodes.
Richard,
The American Independent Party will never change its name. I have either been Chairman or Vice Chairman of the AIP since 2006.
