The U.S. Supreme Court will put Polelle v Byrd, 25-147, on its October 10 conference. This is the lawsuit in which a Florida independent voter argues that the U.S..Constitution does not allow closed primaries.
Richard, the appeal is on the grounds that outcome determinant closed primaries are constitutionally prohibited because he does not have an effective vote at the general election (and neither do Libertarian members). He lives in a county that has elected candidates from the same political party for 60 years.
This is an interesting case because the appellate court has already agreed that his constitutional rights are burdened but their hands are tied by conflicting court decisions.
By extension, the rights of smaller political parties, which are another name of organized groups of voters, are suppressed where the electoral system regularly selects candidates at the closed primaries of other parties they are prohibited from participating.
