US Supreme Court Hears Oklahoma Primary Case

January 19th, 2005

Yesterday, the US Supreme Court heard arguments in the case to allow the Oklahoma Libertarian Party to invite non-affiliated voters to participate in the party’s primary.

A federal judge ruled the state law constitutional. However, a federal appeals court ruled that the free association guarantees of the First Amendment were violated by the semi-closed system.

Ballot Access News editor Richard Winger attended the hearing and will have a full report soon.
