Libertarian Party of Ohio Sues for 1st Amendment Rights and Voting Freedoms

The Libertarian Party of Ohio (LPO) filed a lawsuit today in federal court seeking to overturn a portion of the recently passed election overhaul bill. HB 194 contained ballot access “remedies” that returned petitioning thresholds to the same level that existed prior to the LPOs successful 2006 lawsuit. The 2006 suit resulted in that law being struck down. The key difference between the new law and the 2006 law is the additional 30 days to submit signatures. The 2006 case was LPO v Blackwell.

The LPO also sued and won in a 2008 case titled LPO v Brunner. The core issue in that case was a directive issued by then Secretary of State Brunner which attempted to fill the void in the law resulting from the 2006 case. The federal judge in 2008 ruled that the directive and the language of the directive were both unconstitutional. Following that case, Secretary Brunner placed the LPO onto the ballot for four consecutive years, a record in modern Ohio history.
