Coming soon: that G or L on your voter card?
The newly-elected Democratic Secretary of State in Iowa, Michael Mauro, is expected to decide in a week whether to settle the lawsuit over voter registration. The lawsuit Iowa Libertarian Party v. Culver was filed in September 2005, over Iowa’s voter registration system, which forces all voters to register "Democratic", "Republican" or "Independent". (sic-Deeth notes the actual term on the form is "No Party")
The lawsuit seeks the ability for voters to register into unqualified parties that place nominees on the ballot. The Iowa Attorney General has recommended that the state simply accede, and thereby end the lawsuit. However, (Mauro) will make the final decision.
Big big hat tip to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News, the only person covering this.
