On April 29, 2026, Americans for Citizen Voting PAC filed a “Plaintiff’s Memorandum In Support of Plaintiff’s Motion for an Ex Parte Temporary Restraining Order and Temporary Injunction in Waukesha County, Wisconsin Circuit Court challenging the ban on out of state residents circulating candidate petitions or petitions to recall public officeholders.

The challenged law, which was passed earlier this year, bars out of state residents from circulating such petitions, with US President/Vice President petitions exempt from such law.

The case is titled Americans for Citizen Voting PAC v. Wolfe.

On May 4, the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin joined the lawsuit as a Co-Plaintiff.

The Louisiana legislature may amend the election law for U.S. House races, for 2026 only, from a closed primary, to the old system in which every candidate runs in November, with a December run-off in races in which no one gets 50% in November. See this story.

If that happens, it will mean that independent and minor party candidates will be able to run for U.S. House this year.

According to the Indiana Secretary of State website, as of 10AM ET, Wednesday, May 6, 2026. (T) means Trump endorsed candidate. I think Indiana primary law can best be stated that it is a closed primary, but on a voters’ honor system, because each voter’s party affiliation is not recorded on their voter registration record.

From WFYI, the Indianapolis PBS station, is the following on this election:

“Alexandra Wilson — not related to Brenda Wilson — is also on the ballot. Her candidacy has drawn a legal challenge from James Bopp, a longtime conservative attorney, who has called her a “phony” candidate.

“Others have worried that Alexandra’s candidacy is an effort to confuse voters because of her shared last name with Brenda Wilson.

“On social media, Alexandra Wilson has denied those allegations.

“Wilson faced White House pressure to drop out of the race as well as legal questions over whether a 2010 criminal charge would keep her off the ballot. The Indiana Election Commission deadlocked twice over the question. A judge approved her to appear on the May ballot less than a month before election day.”
