On April 1, Cara Castronuiva, a Republican seeking the New York Republican Party’s nomination for U.S. Senate, filed a federal lawsuit against the petition requirement. Because she did not show substantial support at the party state convention, she must get 15,000 signatures of registered Republicans in only 37 days. Castronuiva v Cox, e.d., 1:24cv-2428. Here is her Complaint, which is Pro Se.
The primary is June 25, 2024.
That is, if they turn 18 by Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
Here is the story from The Providence Journal.

Following up on Richard Winger’s post earlier this week that Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen asked the state legislature to pass LB 764, which would change Nebraska’s electoral votes distribution to winner of the entire state take all, the legislature did not pass that bill.

On April 3, the Third Circuit refused to stay the lower court’s order that required New Jersey to use office-block ballot format for the June 4 Democratic primary. Kim v Hanlon, 24-1593. The three judges were Kent Jordan (Bush Jr. appointee), Charyl Ann Krause (Obama), and Arianna Freeman (Biden).
So, regardless of the hearing on April 12, it is clear that the old discriminatory ballot format will not be used this year for the Democratic primary.
On April 4, the Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. campaign said it has completed its Idaho petition.
