Question Presented (from Petition)

This case presents the "important issue of election administration" that four justices previously have indicated likely warrants certiorari: whether "the First Amendment requires scrutiny of the interests of the interest of the State whenever a neutral, procedural regulation inhibits a person's ability" to place a matter on the ballot." Little v. Reclaim Idaho, 140 S. Ct. 2616, 2616 (2020) (Roberts, C.J., concurring).
