On October 7, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Rust v Morales, 23-1369. This is an Indiana case filed by a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, against a law that barred him from the primary ballot law. The law said he couldn’t be on because he hadn’t voted in recent Republican primaries.
The question of whether or not a candidate may run in a party’s primary should be up to the party, and not imposed by state law.
Even if a partisan primary is paid for by the state, a state shouldn’t compel a party to put certain candidates on its primary ballot, BUT if a party DOES keep a candidate off a state-paid primary, that candidate should retain the right to run in the general election without a partisan label.
Good. Screw that stupid case
@WZ,
Who is “the party”?
