Green Ballot Access Case Due Up Thursday
I have been predicting for some time that Attorney General Mike Beebe and Secretary of State Charlie Daniels are going to lose their court case Thursday to deny the Green Party ballot access.
This Rob Moritz article does a good job of laying out the reasons why I have that opinion in very little space. They are going before the same federal judge who has ruled at least twice since 1996 that they need to make the signature requirements the same for new parties and independents. The Greens will even have an attorney from that orginal case present to remind Judge Howard why he made that ruling. I don't think he will need much reminding. Federal Judges don't like it when states drag their feet for over a decade to deny people equal access to the ballot. The judge's opinion in this one should make great reading. Stay tuned!
