In San Francisco a court refused to place Peace and Freedom Party candidates on the June ballot as they had not filed. The 5-2 decision cited the elections code as precluding relief, with justices dissenting on whether the code should apply to the party. The party had gathered signatures for a petition and faced registration rules.
