Duke v. Massey
United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
87 F.3d 1226 (1996)
- Written by Philip Glass, JD
Facts
David Duke (plaintiff) attempted to get on the presidential-primary ballot for the Republican Party in Georgia. Duke’s notoriety stemmed from his fringe political views. Georgia’s Republican Party established a candidate-selection committee. The committee removed Duke's name from the candidate list. Duke alleged that this action deprived him of his First and Fourteenth Amendment speech and association rights. Duke claimed that the committee practiced unconstitutional speech-based discrimination.
