Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge James Sweeney. Affirms the district court’s granting of summary judgment to the defendant, Indiana’s Secretary of State Diego Morales.

Finally, finds the ballot access restrictions challenged in the case easily pass the scrutiny that the U.S. Supreme Court and the 7th Circuit have employed in similar cases.
