How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- noting that “neat distinctions” between First Amendment and Equal Protection challenges to state election laws that burden the rights of minor parties are “difficult” and perhaps “irrelevant” because “the ultimate analysis” requires the state to pass both tests.
- “It is axiomatic that the Equal Protection clause prohibits only ‘invidious’ discrimination, and does not call into question ‘every minor difference in the application of laws to different groups.’”
