Mississippi Lawsuit Over Order of Offices on the Ballot

September 9th, 2008

On September 9, a Democratic county official in Mississippi filed a lawsuit against state officials, over the design of the November 4, 2008 ballot. The ballot contains two U.S. Senate elections. The election for the Class II Senate seat is near the top of the ballot, under the presidential part of the ballot. However, the other U.S. Senate seat, the Class I seat, is at the very bottom of the ballot, after the local races. See this article. UPDATE: a state judge has told the state not to print its ballots until this lawsuit is adjudicated. See this. Thanks to Rick Hasen for this update. The case is Berger v Barbour, 251-08-694cib.

    Any chance delays in ballot prnting will help Moore and/or Amondson to file lawsuits to get on the ballot?
