1974The Registrar contends, however, that Bullock can and must be read to invalidate only unreasonable filing fees, pointing to the following language: "It must be emphasized that nothing herein is intended to cast doubt on the validity of reasonable candidate filing fees or licensing fees in other contexts." ( Bullock v. Carter, supra, 405 U.S. 134, 149 [31 *346 L.Ed.2d 92, 103].)

Bravo v. Cabell green

1 sentence

2022The court agreed with the defendants that the filing fee requirement did not apply to them because the documents they submitted for filing arose out of a criminal action, concluding that “where a proceeding for a prerogative writ arises from a pending criminal prosecution in the municipal court, . . . the proceeding [is] so integrally connected with the criminal action that the county clerk must apply the statutory exemption for fees ‘in any criminal action.’ ” (Ibid.) In reaching that conclusion, the Bravo court “discern[ed] no significant difference between a review of a criminal proceeding

1975The court recognized that the reason for the filing fee requirement is to limit the size of the ballot and to compel candidates to pay some of the administrative costs of the election process, and it characterized a state’s interest in keeping the ballot within manageable, understandable limits as of the “highest order” (id. at p. 715 [ 39 L.Ed.2d at p. 708 ]).

1973Nevertheless the court ruled (at p. 146 [ 31 L.Ed.2d at p. 101 ]) not only that the filing fee requirement was both under-inclusive and overinclusive, but also that “other means to protect those valid interests are available.” The court did not articulate the “other means” intended, but we infer from its reliance on Jenness v. Fortson (1971) 403 U.S. 431 [ 29 L.Ed.2d 554 , 91 S.Ct. 1970 ], that such means at least include the use of nominating petitions signed by a prescribed percentage of registered voters.
