Duquesne Law Review
Abstract
The Supreme Court of the United States held that, notwithstanding the First Amendment right of political parties to express the shared views and ideals of their members, states may enact statutes that ban "fusion candidacies," provided that the statutes are a reasonable and nondiscriminatory means of furthering a legitimate state interest.
