U.S. Supreme Court Sets Conference Date for Indiana and Georgia Ballot Access Cases

The U.S. Supreme Court will consider Rust v Morales, 23-1369, at its September 30 conference.  This is the Indiana case over how candidates get on a primary ballot.  The law lets the state exclude candidates who did not vote in the last primary held for that party.  The plaintiff had wanted to run as a Republican for U.S. Senate this year, but he was excluded.

Also on September 30, the Court will also consider whether to hear Bell v Raffensperger, 23-7684.  This is the Georgia case filed by an independent candidate for the legislature, Andrew W. Bell.  It concerns the lack of due process when Georgia checks petition signatures.
