Michigan Minor Parties Sue Over Distribution of Voter List

January 11th, 2008

On January 11, the Michigan Green, Libertarian and Reform Parties filed a lawsuit in federal court against a Michigan law that discriminates in favor of the Democratic and Republican Parties. Specifically, the lawsuit attacks the law that says the list of which voters choose a Republican presidential primary ballot, and the list of which voters choose a Democratic presidential primary ballot, is given only to those two parties. Those parties are then free to give the list to any group they wish, but it is a crime for anyone who didn’t get the list from the two major parties to possess the list. The case is Green Party of Michigan v Land, 2:08-cv-10149. Thanks to Thomas Jones for this news.

    It doesn’t really matter which minor parties are in the lawsuit; if the law is struck down, they will all benefit.
