U.S. District Court Judge Victoria Roberts will hear Graveline v Benson, e.d. Mich., 2:18cv-12354, on December 17, Tuesday, at 8:30 a.m.  This is the case over the Michigan independent petition requirement for statewide office, 30,000 signatures.  Last year the same judge had enjoined the law and put the plaintiff, Doug Graveline, on the November ballot as an independent candidate for Attorney General.  The upcoming hearing is to determine the constitutionality of the law.
