Eleventh Circuit Will Hear Libertarian Challenge to U.S. House 5% Petition on May 22

The Eleventh Circuit will hear Cowen v Raffensperger, 19-14065, on Friday, May 22.  This is the case filed in 2017 against the Georgia petition requirement for independent and minor party candidates for U.S. House.

The 5% (of the number of registered voters) requirement has existed for U.S. House since 1943.  No minor party has ever complied with it in 77 years.  No independent has complied with it since 1964, and back then the petition validity wasn’t checked, no district crossed county lines, and the petition deadline was in October.

Nevertheless, the U.S. District Court had upheld it in 2019.

The three judges will be Adalberto Jordan, Gerald Tjoflat, and R. Lanier Anderson.  The hearing will be by telephone.

  1. INDIVIDUAL candidates on ballots.

    EQUAL in 14-1 Amdt.

    Mere 52 years since the SCOTUS mess in Williams v Rhodes 1968 – and several more junk ballot access ops.

  2. $$$ DAMAGES – NOT MOOT — trademark case — applies to ALL cases

    —-
    MISSION PRODUCT HOLDINGS, INC. v. TEMPNOLOGY, LL, 587 US ___ (2019)

    MUST sue for $$$ damages in ALL election law cases to avoid moot stuff – due to SLOOOOOW courts in election law cases.

  3. Our team is researching write-in votes for the California SoS results which didn’t list my vote for Sorinne Ardeleanu [Libertarian] for US President in last March 3rd California primary.

    Other Libertarian Party “polls” conducted on Facebook are bringing 100% male slates.

    As an example the Kentucky L.P. Facebook straw poll last week, when two males won Prez and VP, and now their next stage is also 100% male Presidential candidates.

    Men, I will be exposing how Microsoft, Facebook and Google, all bring male-dominated politics, they’re bringing the wrong math and wrong psychology for the three-party system.

    The male-dominated psychology is built around “click the go” with Google and Microsoft, the approval voting polls in Facebook (thumbs up = approval voting = one-party system), and the two methods of plurality and approval voting are two-party and one-party voting systems.

    The only way to bring the three-party system is ranked choice voting in multiple-winner election districts.

    Fortunately the PPR Electoral College is showing the way to victory in 2020.
