Ballot-Petition Deadline for Minor Parties 

Baldwin v. Cortés (Yvette Kane, M.D. Pa. 1:08-cv-1626) 

A minor party’s federal complaint alleged that it was improper for 

the state to require minor parties to submit ballot petitions earlier 

and with more signatures than what was required for major parties. 

The court of appeals affirmed a judgment by the district court of no 

impropriety in the ballot-access requirements. 

Subject: Getting on the ballot. Topics: Getting on the ballot; case 

assignment. 

The Constitution Party filed a federal complaint in the Middle District of 

Pennsylvania on August 29, 2008, alleging that it was improper for Pennsylvania to require minor parties to submit ballot petitions earlier and with 

more signatures than Pennsylvania required for major parties.1 As the result 

of a 1984 consent decree agreed to by Pennsylvania’s secretary of the commonwealth, the deadline for minor parties was extended to August 1,2

 which 

predated the major parties’ conventions by several weeks.3

 With its complaint, the party filed a motion for preliminary and permanent injunctions.4

The court assigned the case to Judge Yvette Kane.5 On September 9, 

Judge Kane granted a motion for expedited hearing that the party filed that 

day, and Judge Kane scheduled a hearing for September 10.6 She conducted 

an additional conference call with the parties on the day after the hearing.7

Two days after the hearing, she invited the parties to move for her recusal 

because she served as secretary of the commonwealth in the 1990s.8 All parties consented to Judge Kane’s continuing to preside over the case.9

On September 12, Judge Kane issued an opinion finding no impropriety 

in the consent decree’s deadline.10 On May 6, 2010, the court of appeals affirmed her decision.11

for establishing and maintaining  disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in exchange act rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) for the small business issuer and
have:

consolidated subsidiaries,  is made known to us by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;
