LAS VEGAS — A man who was told by the state of Nevada that he couldn't register the name"WTF Party" for political candidates is suing election officials, claiming his free speech rights were violated.
Documents filed Monday with the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Reno include a state rejection letter that inserts an asterisk instead of the"F''. The lawsuit calls for Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske to add the WTF Party to the eight parties currently on the roster . State elections chief Wayne Thorley told Berns in a May letter that his party name"may be offensive to a substantial portion of the electorate" and might"convey contempt for the election process in the same way that a 'Who Cares Party,' an 'Apathy Party' or a 'Roll-the-Dice Party' might communicate disdain.""The letters are not an acronym or abbreviation," they said.
Justices affirmed a constitutional right to create and develop new political parties and said restrictions must be"narrowly drawn to advance a state interest of compelling importance."
