Hearing Set in Utah Ballot Access Case

U.S. District Court Judge David Nuffer will hold a hearing in Maxfield v Henderson, 4:23cv-112, on Monday, December 11, at 1:30 p.m. This is the lawsuit filed by supporters of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., over the Utah independent presidential petition deadline of January 8.

On December 4, No Labels filed a federal lawsuit to block the NoLabels.com website. Here is the Complaint.

They each needed 203 signatures, and their supporters in Oklahoma obtained those signatures.
