Coughenour Upholds Combined Term Elections Scheme

Federal Judge John Coughenour rejected Plaintiff Mark Greene's argument (in Greene v. Huff & Wise case, no.15 CV - 01881 ) that combined term elections were unconstitutional by violating the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment.  Greene must decide within a few weeks of this writing whether to appeal the decision.  There are so many technical obstructions in front of the basic arguments in favor of this case, that an appeal would be a long shot.  Greene has never appealed decisions by federal or state courts in the several election cases that he has brought forth since former Secretary of State Sam Reed ("Mad Sam") threw him off of the federal senatorial ballot in 2006.
