The Eighth Circuit will hear Libertarian Party of Arkansas v Thurston, 19-2503, on December 11, 2019, at 9 a.m. This is the case over the 2019 law that increased the petition for new parties from 10,000 signatures to 3% of the last gubernatorial vote (over 26,000 signatures). The U.S. District Court had enjoined the law earlier this year, and the state is appealing.
The three judges will be Michael Melloy (a Bush Jr. appointee); Ralph Erickson; and Jonathan Kobes (both Trump appointees).
Same olde BAAAADE arguments ???
Note that similar laws were thrown out in court in Arkansas in 2006 and 1996. The state appealing this is disgusting.
