Ballot Access News
On January 5, Delaware appealed the decision of the U.S. District Court in Adams v Carney. The U.S. District Court on December 6, 2017, had struck down a Delaware law that the only people eligible to be appointed a state judge are people who are members of a political party that is entitled to its own primary. In Delaware, only parties with 5% of the registration are entitled to a primary, so effectively only Democrats and Republicans may be appointed to a state judicial position.
The plaintiff who won the case in U.S. District Court, James R. Adams, is a registered independent.
