Procedural Win in Indiana Ballot Access Case

On October 28, U.S. District Court Judge James R. Sweeney, a Trump appointee, issued an order in Indiana Green Party v Sullivan, s.d., 1:22cv-518. This is the case that challenges the Indiana ballot access laws for independent candidates and the nominees of unqualified parties. The order rejects the state’s request to dismiss the case without even holding a trial. The state said that because the Indiana petition (2% of the last vote cast for Secretary of State) was upheld in the Seventh Circuit in 1985 (when the 2% petition was only two years old), therefore the case should be dismissed. But the judge wrote that “it has been 37 years since Hall was decided. Both the law and the facts have changed…It is far too early for the Court to say that no relief is possible on the facts as alleged.”

Procedural Win in Indiana Ballot Access Case — 6 Comments

  1. Yet another chance for a judge to detect EQUAL in 14-1 Amdt.

    Green party lawyers ANY better than LP loser lawyers since 1970 ???

  2. The attorney for the Indiana case is Oliver Hall, who is attorney for the Libertarian National Committee. He is an excellent attorney. He has won ballot access cases in Maine (partly), Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and he is working on an Illinois case.

    The US Supreme Court already ruled in Jenness v Fortson that it is the essence of discrimination to treat unequal things as though they were alike. In the US, major parties and minor parties play different roles and are very dissimilar.

  3. BALLOT ACCESS LAWYERS AND JUDGES–

    TOTAL IQ 40 OR LESS MORONS ABOUT BASICS OF ELECTIONS SINCE 1968 — MERE 32+22 = 54 YEARS —

    1. EACH ELECTION IS NEW — PRIOR RESULTS ARE MEANINGLESS.

    3. SEPARATE IS NOT EQUAL.

    4. EQUAL IN 14-1 AMDT — NOT *SEVERE* OR OTHER VOID FOR VAGUENESS WORDS/PHRASES.
