- Written by Philip Glass, JD
Facts
Party-unaffiliated Connecticut voters (voters) (plaintiffs) sought to vote in political-party primaries. Connecticut law conditioned the ability to vote in a particular party’s primary election upon membership in that party. The voters had no party affiliation and could not legally vote in any Connecticut party primary. The voters contended that this restriction violated their First and Fourteenth Amendment association rights. Connecticut’s Republican and Democratic parties and the secretary of state moved to dismiss.
