On August 3, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court issued a unanimous ruling in Brady v State Ballot Law Commission, SJC-12979. The Court explained why Helen Brady, Republican candidate for U.S. House, 9th district, should be on the September 1 primary ballot. She submitted more than the needed 1,000 signatures of registered Republicans and registered independents. All of her signatures were electronic. But they didn’t follow precisely the new directions for electronic signatures that the same court had approved in April 2020. The Ballot Law Commission had removed her from the ballot, but on July 10, the Court had put her back, without explanation. The August 3 decision explains the reasoning.
The decision has very good general language about ballot access. Thanks to Rick Hasen for this news.
MA = another soviet socialist regime.
Perhaps even the MA JC wants some show opposition on the ballots
