How much $$$ to do a PROPER ballot access case about SEPARATE – IS – NOT – EQUAL ???

Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483, 495 (1954).

I.E. to have 1 or more EQUAL tests for ALL candidates for the SAME office in the SAME area to get on the ballots ???

I.E. An EQUAL nominating petition to show preliminary support from the Electors.

This AIN’T atomic physics.

Here in NC, we are scheduled to turn in $128,000 (plus) worth of petitions on Thursday. After the SBOE verifies them, the LPNC will be back on the ballot.

Unless… we win the court case, wherein we ask the judge to declare an entire chapter of state law unconstitutional and to enjoin the SBoE from enforcing it. That’s the chapter that describes those petitions and what to do about them.

Irony!!

Of course, it’s very unlikely that both (a) we win and (b) the State does not ask for a stay while it appeals. (Unless the state’s attorneys are reading these posts?)
