Judge issues preliminary injunction in Green Party's lawsuit
By Associated Press
May 30, 2003, 8:42 PM EDT
NEW YORK (AP) _ A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction Friday barring the state from voiding any voter registrations for the Green Party and ordering it to allow new members to enroll.
U.S. District Judge John Gleeson's order requires the state Board of Election to revise its voter registration application to allow voters to continue to register in the Green Party through at least the 2006 gubernatorial election, according to Jeremy Creelan, the lead attorney for the Green Party.
The judge had issued a temporary restraining order against the state in January.
"It's a tremendous victory for New York voters," Creelan said. "It vindicates the right of minor political parties to organize and build support on a level playing field with the major parties."
Lee Daghlian, a spokesman for the state Board of Elections, said his agency has instructed counties to not remove anyone off the rolls until Gleeson holds another hearing on Wednesday. The judge could make a final ruling at that hearing, Daghlian said.
"We're going to do what the judge says," he said.
The case arose after the environmentally oriented Green Party failed to collect the 50,000 votes in last year's gubernatorial race needed to maintain its status as a recognized party in New York.
State law calls for the party to lose its automatic place on the statewide ballot. The party's members become unenrolled or independent voters for election purposes, and the party can't enroll new members until it achieves ballot status again.
The Green Party did not challenge its loss of a spot on the ballot but instead focused on the enrollment issues, claiming the provisions violate the free-association right of the Constitution's First Amendment and the 14th Amendment's equal-protection clause.
The Green Party candidate in November, Stanley Aronowitz, received 41,797 votes.
The Green Party achieved ballot status in New York in 1998, when its gubernatorial candidate, "Grandpa" Al Lewis, of "The Munsters" television show fame, polled more than 50,000 votes.

About the Green Party
What is the Green Party?
The Green movement is the fastest growing citizen movement in the country.
Green solutions are based on the understanding that all social, economic, and environmental problems are related.
Green Politics seeks solutions that increase personal freedom, promote citizenship, and create a sustainable economy. We believe that government should be accountable, open, and available to everyone. It should not be run by elites nor controlled by corporate financing.
We encourage citizen activism and support diversity.
Green Candidates = Effective Office Holders
Greens are not controlled by party bosses. They are accountable to the public.
Greens are often the deciding vote on legislative committees. This means more power to negotiate for the communities that elected them.
We rely on your support and energy
