On September 10, presidential elector candidates pledged to Shiva Ayyadurai filed a federal lawsuit against the Secretary of State of Tennessee. Although their independent presidential petition had enough valid signatures, the Secretary disqualified them because they say they are pledged to Ayyadurai, who was born in India.

The case is Lupo v Tennessee Secretary of State, m.d., 3:24cv-1088. It is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Waverly Crenshaw, an Obama appointee. Here is the Complaint.
