The Supreme Court docketed a petition for a writ of certiorari in the case Libertarian Party of New York, et al. v. New York State Board of Elections.
John Avlon: The case challenges a new set of 2020 restrictions on ballot access in New York.
Avlon says the new rules unjustly impact voters' First and 14th Amendment rights.
The NYLP says the Supreme Court needs to step in since Anderson v. Anderson concluded that state legislatures have no incentive to consider minor parties' interests.
The petition says the lower courts have failed to judge the new barriers to third-party access to be a sufficiently severe burden requiring judicial correction.
