On March 9, the Idaho House passed HB 638. It restores presidential primaries, but requires a filing fee for presidential candidates. The bill makes no provision for presidential candidates who can’t afford the fee. The bill sets the date of the primaries in March.
Congratulations on your bill. Now all or most of the presidential candidates will pass on the Idaho primary.

Brown v. Chote
No. 71-1583
Argued February 22, 1973
Decided May 7, 1973
411 U.S. 452
Syllabus
Appellee, who sought to run for Congress but asserted that he was unable to pay California’s statutory filing fee, filed a class action in District Court, challenging the constitutionality of the filing fee statutes. In the face of an impending filing deadline, the District Court granted appellee’s motion for a preliminary injunction.
Held: Given the possibility that appellee would prevail on the merits and the fact that appellee’s opportunity to be a candidate would have been foreclosed absent interim relief, the District Court did not abuse its discretion in granting a preliminary injunction. Pp. 411 U. S. 456-457.
342 F. Supp. 1353, affirmed and remanded.
BURGER, C.J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.

The nAZi-666 Spambot should stop changing the subject and answer Ifo’s questions. Richard Winger should stop enabling more assassination attempts against the President and stop censoring those questions.
