On April 8, the Democratic Party filed this brief in Jacobson v Ertel, n.d., 4:18cv-262. This is the case over the Florida law that says the party that won the most recent gubernatorial election will always have the top line on the ballot for its nominees for all offices. The Democratic Party has not elected the Governor of Florida since 1994, and it hopes to win this case so that in future general elections, a random procedure will decide which candidates will be listed first.
The state government filed its brief on April 8 as well. It says that rotating the names of candidates in any particular election would be too complicated, but it says nothing about the alternate idea of having a random drawing each election to decide ballot order. The state also says that the Democratic Party has never before filed a lawsuit against any other state on this issue, and notes that in certain other states with the same type of law, the Democratic Party benefits. And the state claims that this law has existed since 1970 and the statute of limitations means that if the party didn’t like the law, it should have filed its lawsuit before 1975. And the state belittles the idea that ballot position makes any difference.

I just looked up the statutes you cited to on Westlaw. Can you explain how you believe they relate to this particular brief?
Oklahoma had the Democrats in the top spot by statute until the mid-90s. Now we do a ballot order lottery. Primaries are done by random order. If we did away with the straight-party device I believe we would be able to do random order on general election ballots as well.

Both sections are derived from post Civil War laws [NOT shown in the US Code due to MORON HACK editors].
USA Election law violations are mainly about 14 Amdt, Sec 1 and now the 1st Amdt.
— often NOT enforced if the same LAWLESS party hacks control the White House and State regimes.
