Brian Doyle, a candidate for U.S. House in the Democratic primary in South Carolina’s 3rd district, filed a lawsuit on January 27, challenging the Democratic Party’s refusal to let him file in the primary and also challenging the party’s refusal to list him on the party’s web page. The party’s web page purports to list all candidates in the party’s primary this year for federal and state office.
Since then, Doyle has been allowed to file, but the party is still not listing him on its web page, in the candidate list. On April 6, the judge asked in writing for the party to explain the reasons for its behavior. The case is Doyle v South Carolina Democratic Party, 3:10-cv-203.
I bet the party didn’t get preclearance under the VRA to change their web page.
