The lawsuit filed by the Alabama Constitution, Green, and Libertarian Parties in 2012, arguing that the March petition deadline for newly-qualifying parties is unconstitutional, had been set for a trial in the late spring of 2013. However, the state requested that it be postponed until September, and the plaintiffs agreed. It is possible that the state believes the ballot access bill now pending in the legislature will pass, which could moot the lawsuit. The bill lowers the number of signatures and also provides for a later petition deadline.

Again – Stuff is MOOT only if the LAW is retroactively changed to the day the complaint is filed.
Otherwise – damages as relief if nothing else.
Otherwise the robot party hacks can play their EVIL / CORRUPT moot games at every election.
