Judge Fouke Rules In Populist Lumination Case
Judge Fouke of the Singamon circuit court upholds a mandamus against the secretary of state over certificates for Populist nominees Jackson T. Jessag and Charles Bo Balmer. The ruling centers on a 2 percent petition threshold and the definition of general election, potentially forcing nominating by petition across multiple counties in the Fourth and Fifth supreme judicial districts.
