The San Francisco Examiner reports (fourth item):
- The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to take up the case of a San Francisco woman denied ballot access after 229 voters failed to connect the arrow pointing to her name in a write-in contest in March.
Green Party congressional candidate Terry Baum lost legal battles in state court to have her name placed on the ballot, and ran as a write-in in the general election. “This isn’t a case where we applaud the outcome,” said Matt Dorsey, a spokesman for the City Attorney. “Terry Baum was a very effective advocate for why state policymakers may want to consider reforming California election law.”
