In January, the Tennessee Constitution, Green and Libertarian Parties filed a federal lawsuit against the law on how new parties get on the ballot. The law is so strict and so confusing, it hasn’t been used since 1968. A procedural hearing was held in this lawsuit on March 19, just to set a briefing schedule. The judge assigned to the case will expedite the case, which is called Libertarian Party of Tennessee v Thompson, 3:08cv-63.
