On January 23, U.S. District Court Judge Terrance Boyle ruled that it was unconstitutional for the North Carolina State Election Board to try to keep the Justice for All Party off the ballot even though the party had enough valid signatures. The Justice for All Party had been formed to put Cornel West on the ballot as a 2024 presidential candidate.
West and his party did get on the ballot in North Carolina in 2024, because Judge Boyle has granted him an injunction. But the Board’s action had not yet been declared unconstitutional, until now.
Here is the 10-page decision. The State Board had argued that the case is moot. But the judge pointed out that the Board had behaved badly twice, in 2022 when it voted to keep the Green Party off the ballot even though it also had enough valid signatures; and again in 2024 concerning the Justice for All Party.
Each time the Board had behaved as it did, Democrats had had a majority on the Board, and they had refused to certify the parties because they wanted to know if petitioners had misinformed potential signers. Republican members of the Board had always wanted to certify the parties.
ANY $$$ DAMAGES FOR PLAINTIFFS ???
No, because they did get on the ballot, so they were never harmed, except for the bother of finding an attorney and filing the lawsuit.
Why is Richard talking to a bot?

I agree with this ruling.
@ confused
Richard doesn’t realize the spambot is not actually his deceased friend Thomas W. Jones because the Spambots algorithm has captured Mr. Jones’s idiosyncratic ideas and it has control of Dead Man Jones email account and bank account (to receive old fashioned print edition Ballot Access News).
Did the petitioners misinform people?
Demon Rats are fascist communists.
TYRANT TRUMP MONARCH SPAMBOT ALGORITHM IS IN CONTROL OF THE MANY TRUMP ROBOT TROLL MORONS ON BAN –
ESP THE ONES WITH MANY FAKE NAMES.
There wouldn’t be any need to badger voters about whether they were “confused” when they sign nomination petitions if the state would accept filing fees in place of signatures. Not many folks are “confused” by dollars.
AZ spambot is the only robot programmed to mimic a moron by a troll on BAN.
Trump is far from being a tyrant or monarch. Cho Bai-Din was much more tyrannical. Trump is the Liberator and Savior.
