Supreme Court to hear Texas appeal on filing fee case
UPI reports the U S Supreme Court will review Texas challenges to filing fees for primary candidates. A Dallas federal court ruled fees unconstitutionally restrict voter choice, noting the system acts as a wealth test. Candidates Pate and Wischkaemper sought ballot access without fees. Carter was denied for nonpayment and notarization issues. The case centers on fees to defray primary costs and their impact on ballot access and party independence.
