On May 14, the Georgia Libertarian Party filed this brief in Cowen v Raffensperger, n.d., 1:17cv-4660. This is the lawsuit over the number of signatures needed for an independent or minor party candidate for U.S. House. This phase of the lawsuit is dedicated to what the judge should require for such candidates, given that the old law is unconstitutional. Of course, anything the judge imposes is only temporary until the legislature acts.
The Libertarian Party had already suggested 500 signatures. The state had responded by belitting that idea, so this new brief defends the party’s decision to suggest 500 signatures.
EQUAL NOM PETS
Well done brief.
Eating pets equally? Still?
Wearing out the same joke? Still?
Is “Ted” Cody Quirk or Will Klatt?

Probably.
500 signatures is still higher than Canada’s requirement of 100 signatures to run for their national parliament. If anything the Libertarians are still making a compromise. The Republicans and Democrats are of course more interested in keeping the system rigged in their favor, instead of allowing for free and fair democratic elections and the freedoms of speech and association.
Good point.
