Hearing Set in New Hampshire Ballot Access Case

On July 15, a U.S. District Court will hear Day v New Hampshire Secretary of State, 1:26cv-499. This is the case over whether New Hampshire can block an independent candidate for U.S. Senate on the grounds that he hadn’t updated his voter registration address as of the day he filed his declaration of candidacy. Aaron Day argues that states cannot keep congressional candidates off the ballot for reasons related to voter registration, given the U.S. Supreme Court U.S. Term Limits v Thornton decision. That decision said states can’t add to the constitutional qualifications for congressional candidates.
