Sixth Circuit -- Green Party of Tennessee v. Tre Hargett

Where there have been subsequent changes in the statute at issue, Appeals Court should remand tothe District Court to assess mootness, and not rule in the first instance.

Statute giving state executive discretion in certifying minor parties is not
impermissibly vague/ unconstitutional delegation.

Plaintiff did not have standing to challenge restrictions on third party names, as they weren't going to name their party using any of the verboten words.
