Not a birther suit, but raises similar issues; deserves its own thread.

Peta Lindsay is a candidate in the Peace & Freedom's party's presidential primary. She also won't be 35 until 2019.

Lindsay alleges Bowen refused to certify her as a candidate.

Lindsay is represented by Robert E. Barnes.

Complaint.

Oooh. A neighbor.



With his own completely frivolous lawsuit.

Her running mate is an immigrant from Columbia. I wonder why the suit does not include him.

Vice-presidential candidates are not selected during the primary election.

"For completeness": order denying preliminary injuction to enjoin SoSoCA from excluding Lindsay from the primary ballot.

Birther cases are discussed briefly at pages 9 and 10. Executive summary: SoSoCA does not have a duty to investigate; if a candidate admits ineligibility (as Lindsay did here, and Cleaver did before her), then SoSoCA may exclude that candidate.

Order granting SoSoCA's motion to dismiss.

Also "for completeness": Lindsay appealed to the 9th Circuit.

9th Cir. No. 13-15085 (filed Jan. 14, 2013).
