On April 28, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Georgia Libertarian Party to file its cert petition in its ballot access lawsuit by July 29. The party had asked for an extension. Without the extension, the cert petition would have been due June 29. Cowen v Raffensperger, 21A647.

The issue is the petition requirement for independent and minor party candidates for U.S. House. No minor party has ever been able to comply with the requirement since before 1943. The 5% petition was created in 1943. Before 1943, no petition and no fee was required.
