Garcia v. Griswold (William J. Martínez, D. Colo. 1:20-cv-1268)
A prospective primary-election candidate sought relief from a state supreme court denying her relief from the ballot-petition signature requirement despite social distancing made necessary by a global infectious pandemic. The federal district judge denied the candidate relief because of her delay in bringing the case and because the pandemic had a small impact on signature gathering, as signatures were due early in the pandemic.
