On June 8, a hearing will be held in U.S. District Court in Green Party of Tennessee v Hargett, m.d., 3:11cv-692. The political parties will ask for an injunction, putting them on the ballot for the 2016 election. This lawsuit had been suspended earlier in 2016 in the hopes that the legislature would ease the ballot access law for newly-qualifying parties, but the legislature did not act. The law on how a party remains on the ballot had been struck down by the Sixth Circuit on July 2, 2015.
