The Court determined the burden on the Plaintiff is less than severe, because the Plaintiff could access the ballot by showing at least 0.33 percent of the total number of voters registered declared preference for that party. The Court explained there were many ways to drum up voter registration that did not require in person contact. Additionally, the Court did not think the Plainitiffs justified their delay in taking action to appear on the ballot despite the pandemic, because they were aware of Governor Newsom's executive orders in March. Additionally, Plaintiffs did not reach out to election officials for recommendations on how to proceed. | Kishore v. Newsom C.D. Cal.
