U.S. Supreme Court Won’t Hear Indiana Primary Ballot Access Case

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.

  1. 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.
