<div>I am requesting co-sponsors for the following motion:<br><br><strong>The LNC will allocate and send to LPKY's attorney, Chris Wiest, $2500 to cover costs in the Kentucky Ballot Access case.</strong><br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline"></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>Ballot Access</strong></span><br><br>This year, Kentucky sued for ballot access along with the state affiliate of the Constitution Party. We lost at the District and Court of Appeals level. A motion has been filed to re-hear the case en banc, since the ruling from the CoA conflicts with previous rulings from the CoA within the same circuit.<br><br>The case is strong, and the motion to re-hear is strongly compelling. You can read about it over at Ballot Access News. Kentucky is one of two states (Washington State is the other, with their law being new as of 5 years ago) with no mechanism to be recognized as a party by any means other than a presidential support test (no party petition, no other office; one test every 4 years).<br><br>LPKY covered the initial $500 for the filing in Federal District court. The cost to file the appeal to the Court of Appeals was $500. This case is currently in the hole that second $500.<br><br>LPKY's attorney believes it would be wise to appeal to SCOTUS as well. The fee to file the petition for cert is $2000. If SCOTUS agrees to hear the case, there would be further costs.<br><br>Therefore the request is $2500; $500 to get the case out of the hole, and $2000 to file the petition for cert for SCOTUS.</div><span><font color="#888888">
