U.S. Supreme Court Won’t Hear Georgia Ballot Access Case

On October 3, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Cowen v Raffensperger, 22-101, the case that challenged the Georgia ballot access law for minor party and independent candidates for U.S. House.

The case now returns to the U.S. District Court, over the issue of whether the law was enacted with a discriminatory purpose back in 1943, when it was passed. That part of the case didn’t get adjudicated. The evidence in the case, so far, shows that the legislature added the petition requirement in order to make sure the Communist Party did not get back on the ballot.

U.S. Supreme Court Won’t Hear Georgia Ballot Access Case — 4 Comments

  1. The name is “Raffensperger” (Not trying to be pedantic, but visitors might search for that name.)

    The courts seem to be requiring minor parties to waste huge amounts of money and effort on unsuccessful petition drives before the courts will admit that the rules are too strict. The courts don’t seem to appreciate that it’s almost impossible to raise a lot of money when everyone knows the drive will be unsuccessful.

  2. ONE more DISASTER —

    DUE TO TOTAL FAILURE OF USELESS MORON SO-CALLED LP LAWYERS TO NOTE

    1954 BROWN V BD OF ED.

    SEPARATE IS NOT EQUAL.

    ROT CONTINUES — TO GET WORSE.
