On September 27, the final brief was filed in Gill v Scholz in the Seventh Circuit. This is the case that challenges the 5% (of the last vote cast) petition for U.S. House candidates in the general election. The U.S. District Court had enjoined the law and allowed the plaintiff, independent candidate David Gill, to be on the ballot in 2016. Then the Seventh Circuit countermanded the relief with a single sentence, but did not explain why. After the election, the case was re-assigned to another U.S. District Court Judge, who upheld the 5% petition. Now the case is in the Seventh Circuit.
