On May 1, the Ohio Libertarian Party asked the U.S. Supreme Court to put its statewide candidates on the primary ballot. Here is the 28-page request. The document appears to be longer than 28 pages because it has the court decisions from the lower courts attached.
One of the many points the brief raises is that if it is really important for Ohio to enforce the law that requires all circulators to show their employers on each sheet, the Secretary of State would enforce it. In this case, he did not enforce it and put the Libertarians on the primary ballot. But when a private individual filed a challenge, then it was enforced.
In the U.S. Supreme Court, the case is no. 13A1089. Here is a news story about the filing.
1. Ballot access has been a WAR time activity since the official ballots came along in the 1880s — about 125 years of WAR.
2. SCOTUS has long ago upheld the selective prosecution stuff – the poor suffering bureaucrats are allegedly so over worked that they need help in law enforcement.
ALL 50 States have ANTI-Democracy minority rule gerrymander legislatures — enacting the obstruction ballot access laws such as in the LP OH case.
The Donkey/Elephant gangs are doing their divide and conquer machinations as noted in the 6th Circuit opinion pp. 7-8.

Abolish primaries.
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
The CRISIS is N-O-W.
NO PR = CIVIL W-A-R II — which will make the horrific Civil WAR I in 1861-1865 seem like child’s play in a backyard sandbox.
