Fourth Circuit Wants Oral Argument in North Carolina Ballot Access Case

The Fourth Circuit wants oral argument in Kopitke v Bell, 19-2355. This is the lawsuit challenging North Carolina’s March petition deadline for independent candidates, and the requirement that they collect approximately 70,000 valid signatures if they are running for statewide office.

Neither side had requested oral argument. The court wants the argument set in early May 2020.
