[EL] Conyers/Circulator Requirements

[Richard Winger]

Yes, the Sixth Circuit ruled in Nader v Blackwell that states can't require candidate petition circulators to be either registered voters or residents of that state.  Michigan is in the Sixth Circuit.

The ACLU, and now Rep. John Conyers himself, are suing the state of Michigan over its requirement that circulators of candidate nominating petitions be registered voters.  I know that a number of courts have deemed unconstitutional in-district residency requirements for circulators, but has this type of challenge been successful?  http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20140512/METRO/305120120
