U.S. Supreme Court Again Doesn’t Decide Whether to Hear New York Ballot Access Case

On May 15, the U.S. Supreme Court again considered whether to hear Meadors v Erie County Board of Elections, 24-684. But it didn’t decide, and will consider it again on May 22. This is the case on New York’s May petition deadline for independent candidates. The Second Circuit had concluded that the case is moot, so now the chief issue in the case has been transformed into whether the case really was moot. Both sides in the Second Circuit (the plaintiff and also the Board of Elections) had agreed that it is not moot, because in 1969 the U.S. Supreme Court had said that constitutional ballot access cases are not moot just because the election is over.

The Supreme Court has considered this case at three of its conferences, and will do so again for a fourth time.
