Sixth Circuit Upholds Ohio Law on Composition of State Elections Commission

The decision is not too surprising. For almost fifty years, courts have been upholding laws that confine the membership on election administration boards to people representing each of the two largest parties.

  1. Did the libertarians not know that, did they have a reason to expect something different this time, or did they just have nothing to do with their time and money?

  2. So much for the USELESS bans on bills of attainder and titles of nobility and requirement for equal protection.

    How many LP losses since 1968 ??? — by same olde LOSING LP lawyers ???

    More top 2 stuff coming ???– soon to be top ONE ???

  3. The party did not spend money on this lawsuit. The attorney volunteered his services.
