The U.S. Supreme Court will consider whether to hear Libertarian Party of New York v. New York State Board of Elections, 22-893, at its September 26 conference. This is the case over the ballot access laws passed in 2020, which tripled the statewide independent petition signature requirement without expanding the six week petitioning period, and also made it far more difficult for a group to attain status as a qualified party based on election results.

ONLY AMICUS – COFOE
Yeah, the Supreme Court will get around to making a decision – maybe in 2025.
Hopefully our side wins some kind of relief.
Given the rather partisan nature of the GOP appointed SCOTUS judges right now, I wonder if they’ll hear the case and rule in favor of the Libertarians and Greens in what those judges might perceive to be a way to stick it to Biden and the Democrats (although the ruling itself would likely use the actual Constitutional facts)? If that’s what it would take for free and fair elections to happen in states like NY instead of the Democrats legislating and suing third parties off the ballot, I’d take it. Fingers crossed for such a miracle!
Supreme Court is partisan to the Constitution. There are three commie judges who aren’t. Commie Joshua H. doesn’t reiterate that.
God bless the Supreme Court majority!
