(Mark Vergari/The Journal News via AP) MANHATTAN (CN) — While a state election law complaint proceeds in federal court, a New York political party asked a circuit panel to block new rules requiring it to pick a presidential candidate to gain ballot access. In front of three judges for the Second Circuit, attorneys for the Serve America Movement Party of New York argued that the government is trying to compel speech by making a state-wide party nominate a presidential candidate to be included on the ballot.
