Georgia Libertarian Party Asks that its Ballot Access Appeal be Expedited

The Georgia Libertarian Party’s ballot access lawsuit is now in the Eleventh Circuit. Cowen v Raffensperger, 19-14065. The issue is the state law that governs access to the ballot for minor party and independent candidates for U.S. House. On October 23, the party asked the Eleventh Circuit to expedite the case, so that if the case wins, the party can have candidates for U.S. House in 2020.

The state opposes the motion on the grounds that it is switching attorneys and that the upcoming holiday season makes it difficult for work to get done. On October 31, the party responded that the state’s reasons are not important enough to delay the case.

  1. Statists — get past the next election by ALL possible ways and means.

    MORON judges let the ROT go on and on and on and on etc.

    NEW elections if no action before election days.

    Election costs = more or less than 0.1 pct of GDP ??? —

    to control now about 35-45 pct of GDP – govt taxes/borrow/spend.

  2. So one side wants to get it done so they can actually perform their core function and the other side is whining because they don’t want to allow a semi-democratic electoral process.
