Scrementi v. Wilcox

Plaintiffs challenged the requirement that any person seeking the Democratic nomination must present a full slate of candidates for each open office. After rules for nominations were announced, at a caucus meeting of Township Democratic Central Committee, one elector announced the nominations of her slate of candidates. Plaintiffs claimed that the refusal to consider different candidates who another elector attempted to nominate violated the first amendment. Court properly found that Plaintiffs lack standing to challenge constitutionality of section 45-50(b)(6) of Township Code because their alleged injury was not the direct result of the enforcement of the statute. (ELLIS and MARTIN, concurring.)
