On September 2, U.S. District Court Judge Edmund Sargus ordered Ohio to put the Green Party on the ballot. He is the same judge who had earlier put the Libertarian and Socialist Parties on the ballot. The case is McKinney v Brunner, 2:08-cv-819.

Does this ruling include allowing Dennis Spisak on the ballot as a Green to run for US Congress?

I don’t know. I hadn’t even realized the Greens had any congressional candidate in Ohio. I’ll try to find out, but if you find out, let us know with a new comment.
My, my, and some time ago I thot the stink was from Lake Erie…………
I hope Spisak can get on for real
Did you know that, allegedly, there was an on the telephone argument before Sargus in which he was threatened that the Green Party would close down the election if they were not placed on the ballot, or something similar to that ?
Winger has not mentioned McCarthy v. Briscoe, 429 U. S. 1317, 1323(1976) which J. Sargus relied on in 3 recent Ohio cases,where Sargus repeated U. S . Supreme court words ” But in absence of constitutional standards, when available evidence establishes that a party has requisite community support, this Court is required to order that candidates be placed on a ballot”, even though Libertarian Party of Ohio filed some less than 7000 signatures although Ohio law required about 42000 signatures?
what. the last few comments dont make sense. i do have a real question will the other greens running in the state (which there are two) get to have the green label next to their names?
As far as is known for a fact, today, Sept. 3, 2008, there was no opinion, or order ,identified yet in Green Party v. Brunner, U. S. Dist Ct. South. Dist . of Ohio, Eastern Div. Court Clerk, informed Ralph A. Applegate, it appears that Ohio Atty. Gen. Rogers caved in and settled? But there is no documented proof that this is what actually happened?
I will be petitioning the local county, Secretary of State, and Attorney General’s office to have our
name placed on the November ballot as the Green Party Candidate for Congress in the 6th district!
Sincerely,
Dennis Spisak
How is this act constitutional, i. e.,the act of after Sept. 3, 2008, Dennis Spisak asking idiot Jennifer Brunner to place him on the ballot, when I have to, so far, go to the 6th Cir. Court of Appeals?
