On October 15, the Maryland Libertarian Party filed this brief in the Fourth Circuit in Johnston v Lamone, 19-1783. This is the case that argues that the state has no interest in requiring an unqualified party that has over 22,000 registered members to collect 10,000 signatures if it wants to get back on the ballot. The Libertarian Party feels it is obvious that it has at least 10,000 supporters in the state, because it has more than twice that many registrants. But the U.S. District Court upheld the Maryland law.
One more UNEQUAL case.
Didn’t Richard do research that showed that 5,000 signatures (for party registration and submission of a slate of candidates) was all that was needed?
