A U.S. District Court in Idaho will hold a trial, starting October 12, 2010, in Idaho Republican Party v Ysursa, 08-cv-165. This is the case in which the Republican Party is asserting that the party only wants people who are sympathetic to the party to be able to vote in its primaries. Idaho does not have registration by party, and on primary election day, any voter can decide on the spur of the moment which party’s primary to vote in. There will be evidence presented in the trial, on both sides, about whether people who are not sympathetic to the Republican Party have been voting in its Idaho primaries.

Please post the case number to this case. Who is the Judge hearing this case? Who is Ysursa, give full name?
With the passage of Prop. 14 in California in your view
can a State Central Committee determine if they want a
person running for Governor in a general election under
their party label, if the majority of the National Committee will not sign off on the use of that party label under the terms of the California Elections Code?
It is my understanding that a 68 day rule applies here,
viz., a notice to the SOS and State Printer. It is my
further understanding that the person receiving a certificate from the SOS to become a “nominee delegate”
to a State Convention, if rejected by Committee on Credentials, can only raise the issue in the Superior
Court in the County of Sacramento.
That could be why under the California Elections Code,
both the Convention and State Central Committee has to
meet in Sacramento. That the convention must meet on or prior to August 15 in the same Sacramento County
Community that the State Central Committee hold it organizational meeting.
In 2010 the State Convention of the American Independent Party will be held in the Sacramento County Community of South Sacramento at 5501 Sky Pky starting at 10 a.m.
This could be the first case dealing with the constitutionally of Prop. 14.
Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg, Vice Chairman, American
Independent Party, affiliated with the America’s Independent Party of Fenton, Michigan since June 27, 2008.

Sorry I left off the date. It will be June 26, 2010.
Election Law 101 — Nominations for PUBLIC offices by PUBLIC Electors is PUBLIC business — TOTALLY subject to PUBLIC laws.
See the many cases — starting with the Texas White Primary cases in the Supremes circa 1928-1932.
Each political party group of PRIVATE citizens is NOT an independent empire — doing what IT wants in such PUBLIC nomination process.
Ben Ysursa is the Idaho Secretary of State.
The judge in the Idaho case is B. Lynn Winmill.
The Idaho Republicans’ expert witness is Michael Munger, a Duke University professor. He has found that 50%-plus of self-described non-Republicans have voted in at least one Republican primary.
