John R. Price v. Independent Party of CT-State Central

Summary

The court dismissed the plaintiffs' expedited election challenge because officials administering a minor-party caucus are not "election officials" whose rulings may be challenged under General Statutes § 9-323. The court alternatively held that the plaintiffs' delay in seeking relief was inexcusable and prejudicial, so laches independently barred their claims for injunctive relief. The court therefore denied the request for a permanent injunction and granted the defendants' motion to dismiss.
