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.

  1. “The law lets the state exclude candidates who did not vote in the last primary held for that party.”
    If anything the party should decide, not the state – and no, I certainly don’t mean to imply that the party should (get to) exclude candidates on that basis either.

    “It concerns the lack of due process when Georgia checks petition signatures.”
    Which is a travesty. Brad Raffensperger rejected 65% of the signatures on Andrew Bell’s petition. And Bell has no recourse to challenge that decision. A travesty.

  2. Raffensperger is completely incompetent. He couldn’t even find 11,780 signatures for Trump, which would have been very easy.

  3. He’s not incompetent. He’s a traitor. Disloyalty to our Lord and Savior Donald Trump is disloyalty to God and Country.

  4. “The law lets the state exclude candidates who did not vote in the last primary held for that party”

    Per Eu v San Francisco, the state should defer such decisions to the party.

  5. Per DPRK, we should merge party and state into one seamless while in order to save democracy.
