Vermont Ballot Access Hearing Postponed Because of Bad Weather

A Vermont Superior Court had been set to hear oral arguments in Trudell v Markowitz on October 1 at 3 p.m.  However, the hearing has been postponed because of heavy rain in Montpelier.  The issue is the constitutionality of Vermont’s new June petition deadline for independent candidates.  The primary is in August and the plaintiff-candidate, Jerry Trudell, had submitted a petition just before the primary, but too late under the new law.  He is running for U.S. House.
