This case is basically a challenge to the "sore loser" law. This was intended to prevent people who lost a primary to run under another party banner, or as a write in/petition candidate, after losing a primary. In this case the GP nominated Eugene BEFORE the democratic primary. By denying ballot access Green Party members and supporters of the party and Eugene were disenfranchised. Good Luck Eugene!!!
