Seventeen Professors and Scholars File Amicus with U.S. Supreme Court in California Ballot Access Case

On November 21, an amicus curiae brief was filed in the U.S. Supreme Court in De La Fuente v Padilla, 19-524.  This is the case over California’s independent presidential petition, which requires almost 200,000 signatures to be collected in 105 days.  The Ninth Circuit had upheld the law.  Here is the brief.  COFOE (the Coalition for Free & Open Elections) paid the printing bill.  COFOE appreciates all the contributions that have made this possible.

  1. California requires 60 signatures for all other statewide offices, including US Senator.

    The fundamental cause of RDLF’s injury is that California uses partisan nominations for president.

  2. Did any of the 17 Profs pay anything — esp the Profs paid by taxpayers ???

    Answer – classified — need to know ???

    SOME major risk for each of them — being put on one or more PURGE lists. [NOO ???]
