On April 10, Hugh Lytle defeated one of the challenges to his spot on the ballot as a gubernatorial candidate in the Arizona Independent Party primary. Hourihan v Lytle, Maricopa Superior Court cv2026-014149. The challenger had first charged that Lytle didn’t have enough valid signatures on his primary petition, but he presented evidence that he did have enough. Then the challenger argued that some of his petitioners were not eligible to circulate because they were felons, but the challenger did not provide any evidence of that.
Another challenge to Lytle’s ballot access is pending. He put his business address on the petition instead of his home address. That case will probably be decided early next week.
Ballot access without fees and petitions means no litigation to censor the voter.
Still no comment on Redpath throwing his opponent off the ballot.
Where is Teri to complain about this ruling?
Parties, like other associations and individuals, have the right to choose their own name. The Arizona Independent Party is planning an appeal. The party is standing up for itself and therefore the party’s name is still what it says it is, Arizona Independent Party.
Richard, do you plan on doing any commentary about your pal Redpath getting his opponent thrown off the ballot?
This thread got mega retarded.
