Lawsuit on Whether “Independence” Can be a Ballot Label in New York Gets a New Judge

There is a lawsuit pending in federal court against the New York election law which appears to bar anyone from using the ballot label “Independence”. The lawsuit was brought by a candidate for Mayor of New York city who wants to use that label on the ballot. Recently the case was re-assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Lashann Dearcy Hall, an Obama appointee. The lawsuit should move fairly quickly, because the plaintiff is requesting injunctive relief. The case is Walden v Kosinski, e.d., 1:25cv-72.
