A number of state organizations representing independent voters submitted an Amicus Brief in support of EndPartisanship.org's appeal with the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Appeal, which was filed in Philadelphia on November 3, maintains that the current primary system in New Jersey denies 47% of the electorate meaningful access to the voting process.
The Amicus Brief was co-authored by Independent Ohio leader and Attorney Rick Robol and Virginia Independent Voters Association (VIVA) chair Steve Richardson, and was filed by Robol on behalf of the Massachusetts Coalition of Independent Voters, Independent Pennsylvanians, North Carolina Independents, the Utah League of Independent Voters, Independent Ohio and VIVA.
It urges the court to reverse the original decision of the New Jersey federal district court that dismissed the case.
