Court to Decide Limits on State Primary Voting

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court said on Tuesday that it would decide a constitutional challenge to a state election law that allows a political party to invite only its own members and independent voters to vote in its primary.

The high court agreed to decide a case from Oklahoma. Under that state's system, a party may not invite voters registered with another political party to vote in its primary.

The state Libertarian Party sued. It claimed the Oklahoma election law violated its constitutional rights to freedom of political association and free speech by preventing it from inviting members of other parties to vote in its primaries.
