Constitutional Law—State May Not Require Filing Fee From Indigent Candidate As Prerequisite To Ballot Placement—Lubin V. Panish, 415 U.S. 709 (1974), Mary Mcinnis Schuman
Washington Law Review
Petitioner Lubin desired to be placed on the ballot in the primary election for nomination to a position on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. He was denied the papers requisite to ballot placement, however, because he was unable to pay the filing fee, a mandatory precondition to ballot placement in California.

Political Candidates' Loyalty Oaths, Jeffrey F. Liss
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
When Washington mustered his revolutionary army, when South Carolinians called for secession, and when Senator Joseph P.

Candidates for political office have not escaped suspicion; eight states still require political candidates to swear oaths of loyalty before their names can appear on the ballot. But constitutional doctrine and changing times have diminished the loyalty oath's scope and significance. This …

Delegate Selection Reform And The Extension Of Law Into Politics, Joseph Vining
Articles
The fact that the 1972 presidential election introduced the formalities and some of the ideals of law into the gestation of national political power has been overshadowed by revelations about other aspects of the election campaign. But it will not be long before power will have to be organized and generated again from apartment blocks, meeting halls, and coffee parties, and ultimately incarnated in another President. At some point hearing examiners for the National Democratic Party will appear again in various communities. Rules will be studied, records made, and appeals taken, all for the purpose of deliberately deciding who may …
