CNN Article on Status of Trump Ballot Access Cases

This CNN article has links to the decisions so far in the anti-Trump ballot access cases.  Links are below the map of the United States.

The story does not list the cases filed by John Anthony Castro, or a few similar cases filed by other little-known individuals.  The CNN story would have been better if it had been more inclusive.  Also the map is somewhat deceptive, because it seems to show that Trump is off the ballot in Maine and Colorado, but actually he is on the ballot in those states and all states in which he filed.

  1. Castro had his second New Hampshire lawsuit dismissed late Friday afternoon.

    He can now appeal back to the First Circuit which rejected his first New Hampshire appeal but left a door ajar. However, any decision at this point would be after the New Hampshire Primary. He could relitigate it in the general election but, to surmount the standing issue, he’d have to run as an independent which means collecting 3,000 signatures in N.H. His criminal trial date is in March so he may well not be a free man and able to petition by that point, depending on how things work out.

    That said, despite the statutory maximum for his alleged crimes being 99 years, he’s more likely to get 2-3 years as a non-violent, first time offender (if convicted) so he should be out in time for the 2028 election and could make a run at disqualifying Hawley or Vivek or whomever the candidate is then. He would have plenty of time to analyze what went wrong in his 2024 cases and craft litigation designed to overcome those errors.

    Lansing − Former Ambassador Pete Hoekstra was elected chairman of a faction of the Michigan Republican Party that is fighting in court to be recognized as the legitimate replacement to embattled chairwoman Kristina Karamo.

    The new chair, whose victory was clinched with a call from Mar-a-Lago, inherits a party torn by internal divisions and under financial stresses, including default on a roughly $500,000 loan, just 10 months ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

    Hoekstra’s party filed suit Friday seeking a court order establishing the group as the legitimate state party after former chairwoman Karamo refused to acknowledge her removal as valid.

    The group plans to present the results of Saturday’s election to the Republican National Convention to seek affirmation of the group’s legitimacy.
