Georgia Libertarian Party Intends to Ask for Rehearing en Banc in Ballot Access Case

As previously reported, on January 5, the Eleventh Circuit reversed the lower court and upheld the Georgia 5% petition requirement for U.S. House, even though it has existed since 1943 and no minor party candidate has ever managed to comply with the law. On January 12, the party filed a motion with the Eleventh Circuit, asking for a time extension to file for a rehearing before all the full-time judges of the Eleventh circuit. The state does not oppose the time extension. UPDATE: on February 13 the time extension was granted. The new deadline is February 23.
