If the Court of Appeal had denied the FTP's petition to form a party because they had not only violated this statute, but had also clearly ignored election law with regard to its candidates in a blatant attempt to mislead the voters in the state of Michigan, I could have lived with it because the precedent would have been that new parties cannot form if they are going to routinely and blatantly ignore election law. However, the court did not do so and instead made a ruling that encourages the obstruction of rights via excessive and complicated regulation.
