Court ruling keeps Communist Party off 1972 Indiana ballot
The U S Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal, upholding a state law that barred the Communist Party of Indiana from the 1972 ballot. Five justices joined the majority, four Nixon appointees concurred, arguing no compelling state interest justified the discrimination. The law tied ballot access to anti sedition affidavits and platform pledges, while other parties remained on the ballot. The Communist Party along with challenges from the American Independent and Peace and Freedom parties contested the provisions.
