On August 26, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Working People Party and the America First Party may be on the ballot. Nebraska Republican Party v Evnen, S-26-687. Both new parties had faced challenges, based on their names. The Working Families Party wanted to block the Working Peoples Party on the grounds that their names are too similar, even though the Working Families Party is not on the ballot in Nebraska. The Republican Party wanted to block the America First Party on the grounds that “America First” really refers to Republican ideas.

The court said the challenge to the Working People Party was filed too late, and the challenge to the America First Party has no basis in the law. Here is the decision.
