On March 21, the New York Libertarian and Green Parties filed this opening brief in the Second Circuit in Libertarian Party of N.Y. v New York State Board of Elections, 21-1464. This is the case that challenges the 2020 law that increased the statewide petition from 15,000 signatures to 45,000 signatures, and increased the vote test from 50,000 votes for Governor, to 2% for both President and Governor.
The state’s brief is due in June.
The court should grant some relief. The new ballot access law in New York is unreasonable.
