Without seeing the article, it’s hard to tell, but from Richard’s report one would suspect that the flaw in the author’s thesis is that it does not consider the posibility that BOTH Democrat and Republican judges have a great prejudice toward any interloopers from outside the two-party monopoly!

Nader didn’t hurt Kerry because the state that made the difference(Ohio) didn’t put Nader on the ballot, and there were no states where Bush won yet Kerry & Nader collectively got more votes than him.

Are Donkey and Elephant judges equally brain dead ignorant about SEPARATE IS NOT EQUAL — as applied to ballot access cases ???

Also that every election is NEW and has ZERO to do with any prior election.
—–
No party hack caucuses, primaries and conventions are needed.
Equal ballot access via equal nominating petitions.

P.R. legislative
A.V. executive/judicial.

SOOOOOO difficult to understand for the many election law M-O-R-O-N-S in the U.S.A.

I don’t see what’s new. It’s phrased as Dems were just as likely as Repubs to put him on the ballot–better stated as Repubs and Dems were just as likely to keep him off the ballot. The fact that they kept him off may not be for partisan reasons, but that both parties are under the influence of corporate interests. Again, what’s new?

Unfortunately the Election Law Journal is published for profit, and only subscribers may see it on-line. Also I think people who subscribe to Westlaw or Nexis-Lexis can get it.
