A Massachusetts voters’ challenge to Donald Trump’s ballot eligibility in the state, filed by litigator Shannon Liss-Riordan of Lichten & Liss-Riordan and Free Speech For People, was rejected by a single justice of state’s high court this week.
On Monday, a decision on an emergency petition filed by individual Massachusetts voters was issued by Associate Justice Frank M. Gaziano of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, sitting as a single justice. In it, Gaziano denied the petition, which was filed by a mix of nine Republican, Independent, and Democratic voters including Boston Mayor Kim Janey and two law professors—Elizabeth Bartholet, the Morris Wasserstein Public Interest Professor of Law, Emeritus at Harvard Law School, and Mark Brodin, a professor and the Michael & Helen Lee Distinguished Scholar at Boston College Law School, according to the decision.
