Steve Pidgeon, plaintiff attorney in Broe v. Reed, says the Washington SoS asserts that it is the voters’ responsibility to determine a candidate’s eligibility.
Rejection of a citizens standing on this complaint is a violation of the people’s right to redress of grievances under the 1st Amendment and a violation of the people’s right at assert the powers reserved to them under the 10th Amendment.
