Does a preliminary injunction apply to only a single election in a single district?

Because we find that the issues involved in this appeal are moot, we do not address the merits of the preliminary injunction. Appellees claim that "[a]lthough the preliminary injunction applied to only a single election in a single district, the issues raised therein will reappear in other districts when plaintiff and appellant parties nominate candidates for other offices." While this may be true, it is not enough to avoid a finding of mootness; as we have previously stated, "[w]e cannot decide an appeal from a district court's ruling on a constitutional issue simply to satisfy the desire of an unsuccessful party below. Article III, Section 2 of the United States Constitution limits federal court jurisdiction to actual cases and controversies." Jefferson v. Abrams, 747 F.2d 94, 96 (2d Cir.1984).
