Libertarian Louisiana Presidential case is still pending

From Ballot Access News

The Libertarian Party’s lawsuit against Louisiana for keeping Bob Barr off the ballot last month is still alive and active. Here is the party’s 43-page brief, filed on December 8 in the 5th circuit. One little-known fact about this case is that both the Democratic and Republican Parties also failed to file their presidential elector candidates by the statutory deadline, September 2. The Secretary of State created a new deadline (September 8) by fiat, but the case argues that under Article II, only state legislatures can create election laws.
