1 Williams v. Rhodes: How One Candidate, One State, One Week, and One Justice Shaped Ballot Access Law INTRODUCTION In 1968, the Supreme Court broached a new field of constitutional law when it decided Williams v. Rhodes. Faced with popular Alabama Governor George Wallace’s challenge to Ohio’s complex and restrictive ballot access laws, the Court ordered him onto the ballot. The opinion’s rationales had far-reaching implications and produced complicated jurisprudence. It was a signpost to nowhere, and the Court has been trying to find the right direction since, attempting to massage coherence into its ballot access jurisprudence by employing different rationales and scrutiny levels. This Note describes and explains the political, historical, and legal factors impacting the Williams decision. Since Williams, the Court has used the Equal Protection Clause and the First Amendment; strict, intermediate, and rational basis scrutiny; a balancing test; and a system incorporating all of this accumulated flotsam less the Equal Protection Clause. This jurisprudence has left unclear instructions to lower courts. The Court should remedy this confusion by picking a single standard with prudent legal rationales and sound historical bases. The political environment of 1968 and Ohio’s anti-democratic legal framework compelled the Justices to place Governor Wallace on the Ohio ballot. Wallace’s campaign represented a national movement. Denying his supporters the chance to vote for him would have been political folly, and Ohio’s laws kept all but the Democratic and Republican parties from the ballot, which forced the Court’s hand on the issue. But the Court’s first foray into the field of ballot access law created a jurisprudential obstacle course that the Court has contorted its way through since 1968.

P the Party 1
176 THE PARTY A Political Memoir 27. 1967: THE STRUGGLES HEAT UP A few days after the huge April 15 demonstrations against the Vietnam war, Muhammad Ali, the world heavy-weight boxing champion, denounced the war and said he would not show up for his scheduled April 28 induction into the army. Ali had been recruited to the Nation of Islam by Malcolm X, but stayed with the group after Malcolm broke with it. The Militant reported Ali’s statement: “Why should they ask me, another so-called Negro, to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are being treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? “I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for justice, equality and freedom.”1 Ali was stripped of his boxing title. The media denounced him. But wherever he went to speak in the following months, he was greeted by enthusiastic Blacks in meetings numbering in the thousands. Ali’s courageous stand was an expression of the growing Black revolt and helped intensify the already overwhelming opposition in the Black community to the war. In Oakland, California, young militants initiated the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, which spread to other cities and became known world-wide as the Black Panthers. They used the symbol of the Lowndes County Freedom Party, but the two groups were not connected. The Black Panthers gained national attention and notoriety by holding a peaceful legal protest while holding unloaded rifles in the gallery of the California state legislature.
