On March 2, the “disobedient” presidential electors from Washington and Colorado filed their opening brief on the merits in the U.S. Supreme Court.

On March 2, the Ohio Secretary of State again asked for more time to respond to Schmitt v LaRose, 19-974. This is the case over whether it is constitutional for local election officials to reject an initiative petition, not because it doesn’t have enough valid signatures, but because the election officials think the initiative would be invalid or unconstitutional if the voters passed it.
The Ohio Secretary of State had already obtain one thirty-day extension from the U.S. Supreme Court, but now wants a second 30-day extention. If the request is granted, the Ohio response will be due May 6. The U.S. Supreme Court virtually always grants these time extensions.
Four Republican presidential candidates submitted valid petitions to get themselves on the Republican presidential primary ballot, being held in April: President Donald Trump, William Weld, Joe Walsh, and Rocky De La Fuente. But the latter two didn’t submit the names of any candidates for Delegate, so they have been removed. William Weld submitted some delegates, but not a full slate. The State Board of Elections is giving him three days to complete his delegate slate. If he does not comply, that would leave only President Trump on the ballot. In that event, the state would cancel the Republican presidential primary. See this Politico story. Thanks to Joe Burns for the link.
The story doesn’t mention the Libertarian presidential primary. Seven Libertarian presidential candidates submitted petitions for themselves, but only one submitted any delegates, so the Libertarian primary will also be cancelled.
On March 1, Pete Buttigieg, dropped out of the Democratic presidential race.
