From Ballot Access News:
On September 15, 2005, the ACLU of Iowa sued the state, over the policy of forcing all voters to register Republican, Democratic or Independent. The suit was on behalf of the Green and Libertarian Parties. The state has still not responded to the complaint, but has promised to do so on December 7.
Ongoing: Iowa's got one of the tougher party status laws. Two percent for president or governor, each genera election, no exceptions. People want their G or their L on their voter cards. Bills easing the standard have been proposed in the last several legislative sessions (usually by Joe Bolkcom), but have died more out of disinterest than hostility.
So there should be more on this tomorrow. Might be a small ripple in the Culver campaign.
