Abstract:

After a year in court, the Green and Libertarian parties are still fighting over the process for being listed as a third party on the ballot. The court case has been sent to trial and it will start in March. The parities sued the State Board of Elections saying the state’s ballot access laws were unconstitutional. The specifics of how a party gets listed on the ballot and the arguments of the two parties and the state are detailed.
