On August 19, the U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. circuit, issued an order postponing the briefing schedule in Libertarian Party v D.C. Board of Elections, 11-7029, to see if the case might be settled by mediation. This is the lawsuit over whether the District of Columbia Board of Elections should count write-ins for declared write-in presidential candidates. If mediation does not resolve the dispute, the opening brief will be due October 28, 2011.
