On July 21, the Third Circuit expedited the minor party ballot access lawsuit, Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania v Wolf, 20-2481. This is the case in which the Constitution, Green, and Libertarian Parties ask for ballot access relief due to the health crisis. The U.S. District Court had denied all relief and had even written there is a state interest in keeping minor parties off the ballot so that the voters can concentrate to a larger extent on the major party nominees.

Here is the opening brief filed by the parties. The state’s response is due July 24; the reply brief is due July 26.
