On May 1, a new lawsuit was filed in federal court against the Tennessee law that provdes that signs must be polsted at polling places on primary day, warning that only bona fide party members may choose a partisan primary ballot.  Lawson v Hargett, m.d., 3:24cv-538.

Tennessee does not have registration by party.

An earlier lawsuit, Ashe v Hargett, was dismissed because the judge felt none of the plaintiffs had standing.  The new lawsuit has different plaintiffs who have a stronger claim to standing.

On May 2, the Alabama House unanimously passed SB 324, which gives more time for qualified parties to certify their presidential and vice-presidential nominees, and also gives more time for independent presidential candidates to submit their petition.

The fact that the Alabama legislature has moved so quickly to solve the problem that the Democratic National Convention is after the old deadline will put pressure on the Ohio legislature to pass a similar bill.  So far there seems to be no bill to do that in Ohio.

On May 1, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., held a press conference in New York city and presented polling data that if the presidential election were between former President Donald Trump and Kennedy, with no Democrat in the race, that Kennedy would win.  See this story.
