On December 11, Kelli Ward, the state chair of the Arizona Republican Party, asked the U.S. Supreme Court to declare the 1887 federal electoral vote act unconstitutional. Ward v Jackson, 20-809. The U.S. Supreme Court has not taken any action on her case. She appeals from a decision of the Arizona Supreme Court. In the original case she filed, she said said that the state courts must allow more time for her to find evidence of voter fraud. The original proceeding in the state trial court set a trial date only two days after the case was filed, and now she argues that the trial date was too soon for her to prove that Arizona voter fraud occurred on November 3.

Her basis for arguing that the 1887 federal electoral vote act is unconstitutional is based on her belief that the 1887 law interferes with the ability of individuals to find instances of voter fraud. Here is her filing.

In September 2020, the Legal Marijuana Now Party submitted a petition in Nebraska to become a qualified party. The state still hasn’t finished checking the signatures.

Currently the only qualified parties in Nebraska are Republican, Democratic, and Libertarian. No one can register into a party in Nebraska that has never been a qualified party.
