In 38 years, there have been only eight successful attempts by minor parties or independent candidates to collect the tens of thousands of signatures required by Indiana law to guarantee a spot in state elections, according to a new lawsuit by the Indiana Green Party and Libertarian Party.

The lawsuit, which was filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, says minor parties and independents face "substantial or severe burdens" because of Indiana's "unconstitutional" rules governing how they can qualify for state races.

Among those burdens: the requirement to obtain a number of signatures from registered voters that amounts to 2% of the total votes cast for Indiana secretary of state in the prior general election.

Nine other individuals, including minor party advocates and people interested in running for office, are plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
