NE: Libertarian Party Challenges Petitioning Laws

From the Omaha World Herald:

The Libertarian Party of Nebraska is asking a federal judge to block part of the state’s petition law.  The party filed a motion Thursday for an injunction to allow out-of-state residents to collect petition signatures.  The party also asked to intervene in a federal lawsuit challenging the state’s petition laws. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in December, claims that parts of Nebraska law place an unconstitutional burden on citizens.
