On August 28, U.S. District Court Judge Emily C. Marks, a Trump appointee, issued an opinion in Libertarian Party of Alabama v Merrill, m.d., 2:19cv-69. The issue is whether the state violates the Constitution by its policy of giving a free list of the registered voters to qualified parties, but charging approximately $34,000 for unqualified parties. The state had filed a motion to dismiss the case. The judge refused to do that, and cleared the way for a trial on the issue. Here is the nine-page order.
