Eighth Circuit: Kent Bernbeck v. John Gale

Elections, Standing


Plaintiff has no standing to raise OPOV claim based on state law setting a minimum number of petition signatures from each geographical area, as the alleged inability to engage in future conduct is insufficiently imminent.

Plaintiff has not proved his own voter registration, so he has no basis for claim as a petition signer.

Dissent -- This issue wasn't briefed, and there is no such thing as a registered voter in this state.
