I'm sorry to report that Gary Sinawski reports the Judge ruled in favor of the Michigan Secretary of State and the Michigan Republican Party, dismissing our lawsuit to place Governor Gary Johnson on ballot. Gary Sinawski indicated the Judge talked a lot about the State's argument that we should have moved faster in pursuing the lawsuit. He is uncertain of what grounds on which the Judge will base his written decision. The Judge indicated his formal decision and order will likely be issued tomorrow.
We have no idea whether the State will place Gary E. Johnson of Texas on the ballot instead, but they have said nothing to indicate they will not. In fact, they emphasized in oral argument that the LPM could place anyone it wanted on the ballot, except Governor Gary Johnson. I suggest that Bill Gelineau try to contact Chris Thomas tomorrow and ask him.
