On September 19, U.S. District Court Judge Morrison England issued an injunction against California’s new law that requires presidential primary candidates to reveal their income tax returns. See this story. Two presidential candidates had filed lawsuits against the law, President Trump and Rocky De La Fuente, De La Fuente was in the courtroom so naturally afterwards he spoke to the reporter who wrote the story.

UPDATE: see this story, which has a quote from the bill’s author, State Senator Mike McGuire. He says the judge’s action is “perplexing.”

This story says that all Libertarians running in Erie County have been removed from the ballot because of paperwork errors. 2019 is the first election in which the Libertarian Party has been a ballot-qualified party in New York state, so the party doesn’t have the experience with this type of paperwork that the older qualified parties have.

The West Virginia Republican Party recently changed the rules for its 2020 presidential primary. Formerly it was possible for candidates who did not poll the most votes to win some delegates. The new rules provide that whomever places first receives all the delegates. See this Frontloading HQ story.
