On September 13, a Michigan state circuit court rejected an attempt by a Democratic activist to keep all names off the ballot for Allegan County Board, district 3. Only one candidate had filed for that office, a Republican incumbent, and he had died shortly before the August 2024 primary. The Republican Party then chose a new nominee, but a Democratic activist who had run for the same seat two years ago then sued to block the substitution. If she had succeeded, no name would have been on the November ballot for that office. The Democratic activist has filed to be a write-in candidate for that office this year. See this story.

On September 13, the Nevada Green Party asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the ruling of the State Supreme Court that had removed it from the ballot. Nevada Green Party v Aguilar, 24A262. Here is the filing.

The application was submitted to Justice Elena Kagan, who asked the Democratic Party to respond by Tuesday, September 17.

UPDATE: here is a news story from The Hill.

On September 13, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court said it is upholding the decision of the Commonwealth Court that petitioning presidential candidates need a full slate of presidential elector candidates. This means that Claude De la Cruz, Randall Terry, and Cornel West, all of whom had enough valid signatures, still can’t be on the ballot.

Pennsylvania has no law saying a full slate is required, and as recently as 1988 there were presidential candidates on the ballot who did not have a full slate of elector candidates.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court as not yet explained its reasoning.
