Appeal Filed in North Carolina Ballot Access Case

On June 10, the North Carolina Libertarian and Green Parties asked the State Court of Appeals to reverse the lower court, and strike down the state laws on how new and previously unqualified parties get on the ballot. The appeal also asks that the law on how voters are treated when their party goes off the ballot be declared unconstitutional. Although this issue was emphasized at the trial, the lower court judge failed to issue a ruling on that issue.
