Democratic Party Renews Demand to Intervene in North Carolina Green Party Ballot Access Case

On August 2, the Democratic National Committee submitted this document to the U.S. District Court that is hearing the North Carolina Green Party ballot access. The Democratic National Committee insists that the lawsuit cannot be settled with a consent decree. There is no consent decree yet, but it seems likely there will be one because the State Board of Elections on August 1 agreed that the party has enough valid signatures. A consent decree would be between the State Board of Elections and the Green Party, and would say the court doesn’t need to take further action because both sides have agreed.

Consent decrees have resolved ballot access lawsuits in federal courts many times. Examples include cases from the District of Columbia, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

Democratic Party Renews Demand to Intervene in North Carolina Green Party Ballot Access Case — 8 Comments

  1. Consent decrees have frequently settled ballot access cases in federal courts.

  2. I likes me some watermelon, fried chickens, collard greens, grape soda, and some malt licker. Oh yeah! You better believe it!

  3. Hell yeah son. I like all that too except that grape soda, I’m more of a mint julep man myself. My favorite hobbies include wearing Confederate uniforms, riding a horse, whipping naked black cotton pickers in the hot Mississippi summer afternoons, and free use of my black domestic servants in my authentically restored antebellum mansion.

    On weekend evenings I like to get together with fellow law enforcement officers in our ceremonial robes, drink whiskey and beer, smoke cigars, and light a cross to shine the light of Christ from up high on the hilltop in the woods. I love to hunt, fish, skeet shoot, listen to country music, go mudding, and you’ll find me in church almost every Sunday if it’s not football or deer hunting season.
