The written arguments were filed by Attorney General Letitia James and Senior Assistant Solicitor Judith N. Vale after a judge ordered the state to include the presidential race on the ballot even though former Vice President Joe Biden is essentially running unopposed. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan has scheduled oral arguments for next Friday. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres said it was unconstitutional to eliminate the Democratic presidential primary after delegates for withdrawn candidates Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang complained that doing so weakens their standing at the Democratic Convention.

Brazilian Presidential Election 2010 Web Archive Released

You are subscribed to Web Archiving News for Library of Congress. This information has recently been updated, and is now available.

07/21/2014 09:21 AM EDT

This web archive documents the Brazilian elections, which were held October 3, 2010. The president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was not allowed by law to run for another term, as he had already served two terms. So there was great interest in whether voters supported Lula's candidate (his current Chief of Staff), the candidate of the major opposition party, or even the Green Party candidate running on an environmental platform. The first round was held on October 3rd along with state & federal elections as part of the 2010 general election. Since no presidential candidate received 50 percent of the vote on October 3rd, a runoff was held on October 31st between the two candidates who received the most votes in the first round: Dilma Rousseff, PT-Partido dos Trabalhadores, and José Serra, PSDB-Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira.
