Scotusblog has named the cert petition in Schmitt v LaRose as a “petition of the day.” That means Scotusblog thinks that case has a fair chance of being heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Schmitt v LaRose is an Ohio case, in which some proponents of a local initiative relating to marijuana gathered enough valid signatures, but the county election board kept off the ballot anyway because the board felt if the initiative passed, it would be invalid as a matter of policy. The lower courts upheld the action of the board of elections, and minimized First Amendment protection for the content of initiatives.
