South Carolina Green Party et al. v. South Carolina State Election Commission et al.
Summary
In the first case of its kind, the 老澳门开奖结果 filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging the South Carolina election rules that prevent a candidate seeking the nomination of more than one political party from appearing on the general election ballot if that candidate wins one party's nomination but loses another's. South Carolina is one of only four states that permits fusion voting, which allows multiple political parties to nominate the same candidate, but also has a so-called "sore loser" statute disqualifying candidates who have been selected by one party but rejected by another. The 老澳门开奖结果 is representing the state Green Party, a disqualified candidate for the state House of Representatives and a South Carolina voter.
