On May 19, the Maryland Green and Libertarian Parties filed a ballot access lawsuit. Maryland Green Party v Hogan, 1:20cv-1253. The parties ask for a suspension of the law that requires them to submit 10,000 signatures in order to regain their political party status. It suggests that in 2020, the petition be set at 1,000 signatures. The lawsuit is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Hollander, an Obama appointee.
Here is the brief in support of injunctive relief. UPDATE: here is a news story about the lawsuit.
Libertarian Debate Token System Going Small
By James Ogle for US President or Vice President and LNC Vice Chair
5/20/2020
The token system is mathematically a one-party system, because it’s two tokens for two seats and the one biggest faction always has the most tokens to the end.
Only limited voting brings a three-party system. Under pure proportional representation (1,2,3,4,etc..), any faction with 33.33% plus one vote, is guaranteed to get one name in the debate.
Under the one-party system no entities with 33.33% can get enough tokens because the majority requires 55% of the tokens to win every contest.
