U.S. District Court Judge Eleanor Ross will hear Cooper v Raffensperger, 1:20cv-1312, on Tuesday, June 30, at 9:30 am. This is the ballot access case involving the health crisis. It should not be confused with Cowen v Raffensperger, which is not related to the health crisis.

Cooper v Raffensperger will decide whether the minor party and independent candidates in 2020 will get petitioning relief. That includes relief from the 7,500 petition requirement for president. That will affect the Green and Constitution Parties in particular, and possibly others.
