LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Supporters of an effort to impose stricter term limits on Arkansas legislators on Thursday filed a lawsuit challenging new restrictions placed on initiative campaigns.
Arkansas Term Limits, U.S. Term Limits and Liberty Initiative Fund asked a federal to strike down the new restrictions, approved this year by the state Legislature. The restrictions include a requirement that signature gatherers be residents of the state, and another prohibiting campaigns from paying per signature.
The lawsuit argues the restrictions are unconstitutional and will hamper citizens abilities to put measures on the ballot. ....

Appeal filed after federal judge rules Maine law is unconstitutional


Woodcock
BANGOR, Maine (Legal Newsline) – Maine will take a federal judge up on his offer to appeal his decision that the state’s petition circulation law is unconstitutional.
On Feb. 22, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows filed appeal papers with federal judge John Woodcock, who six days earlier granted a preliminary injunction against a Maine law that requires petition circulators to be registered voters in the state.
The challenge to the law comes from a political action committee, a state lawmaker and a professional circulator who resides in Michigan.
They want to circulate a petition that targets a ban on non-citizen voting. Woodcock’s ruling was a bit of a surprise, since he refused to grant a temporary restraining order only a month ago. ....

Maine signature-gathering law violates free speech, judge rules; Appeal welcomed


Woodcock
BANGOR, Maine (Legal Newsline) – Maine’s desire to keep out-of-state voices out of its political process is trumped by free speech rights, a federal judge has ruled.
Judge John Woodcock granted a preliminary injunction on Feb. 16 against a Maine law that requires petition circulators to be registered voters in the state. The challenge to the law comes from a political action committee, a state lawmaker and a professional circulator who resides in Michigan.
They want to circulate a petition that targets a ban on non-citizen voting. Woodcock’s ruling is a bit of a surprise, since he refused to grant a temporary restraining order only a month ago. ....
