Eleventh Circuit Will Hear Florida Ballot Access Case on July 31

The Eleventh Circuit will hear Independent Party of Florida v Lee on Friday, July 31. This is the ballot access case filed by the Independent Party and the Party for Socialism & Liberation. It challenges the Florida law that says ballot-qualified parties can’t be on the ballot for president unless they are recognized by the Federal Election Commission as “national committees”, or unless they submit a petition of 1% of the number of registered voters, which this year requires 132,781 signatures.

The panel will be Judges William Pryor, a Bush Jr. appointee; Robin Rosenbaum, an Obama appointee; and Robert J. Luck, a Trump appointee.
