Supreme Court narrows 30 percent clause reach on ballots
In North Dakota the supreme court upheld the 30 per cent requirement for primary nominations for single offices and limited its reach. It ruled the clause does not apply to congress members, railroad commissioners, house members, county constables, or county justices. Cases from Grand Forks and Cass counties determined who appears on the ballot for clerk of court and justice of the peace, with outcomes tied to whether 30 per cent was met. The decision, authored by Spalding and concurred by Morgan, partially concurred by Fisk.
