Ohio has a very peculiar law concerning who can circulate petitions. Anyone can circulate for a new party, but only a registered voter in Ohio may circulate for an independent candidate. On September 19, a U.S. District Court refused to rule on the issue of who can circulate an independent candidate’s petition. The court ruled that the plaintiffs don’t have standing. The case is Nader v Blackwell, 2:06cv-821. Nader may appeal.
