Ninth Circuit Won’t Put Montana Green Party on Ballot, but Expedites Lawsuit

On September 8, the Ninth Circuit denied emergency injunctive relief to the Montana Green Party nominees for Congress and state office, but it is expediting the lawsuit. The next brief is due September 16. Also the Ninth Circuit is letting the Montana Green Party and Howie Hawkins intervene in the case, over the opposition of the Democratic Party which tried to keep them out of the case. Here is the 2-page order in Davis v Stapleton, 20-35734.

The party will not be on the ballot in November 2020, but it is possible that if it wins declaratory relief, the court will put it on the ballot for 2022.
