How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

noting that states are \entitled to take steps to ensure that elections are 'fair and honest'\
holding that a New York statute requiring “an independent who seeks ... statewide office” to “gather the signatures of 15,000 registered voters” during a 42-day period fell “well within the constitutional bounds set by Storer”
finding that federal action to be placed on the ballot was precluded where candidate previously brought the same claim in state court
suggesting that existence of \statewide computer system . . . capable of checking the registration status\ of all New York voters might, once implemented, \change[] the calculus\ by which ballot access restrictions are to be evaluated
explaining that a state’s interest in “limiting the ballot to those candidates who have demonstrated support” is “by no means novel and ha[s] long enjoyed support in the case law”
holding third-party representative had standing because the party stood to suffer from “competition on the ballot from candidates that . . . were able to ‘avoid complying with the Election Laws’ and a resulting loss of votes”
