Unfortunately, the SOS reversed himself and said that Landham must be on the ballot as a Libertarian or not at all. The party is still deciding.

I would hope letters of thanks to the Kentucky Secretary of State from the national LP as well as the state LP and the Barr-Root campaign are already on their way. This is just about unheard of in the annals of restricting alternative candidates and discouraging alternative parties. Kudos!

The state party has accepted the SOS’s offer. Landham will run as an independent.

This is actually a good compromise, which helps all the parties involved. The Secretary of State should be congratulated.

Now, those of us Libertarians who support Sonny can move forward with a “Libertarians for Sonny” effort.

Now lets hope the LPKY has the good sense to rid themselves of this embarrassment.

Actually, KY Secretary of State Trey Greyson has been somewhat of a friend to third party people. Prior to him, if you weren’t a Republican or Democrat, you had to register as “Other.” Now, you can register into whatever party you belong to.

This is a wise, Solomaic decisioon– rare (it would
seem) from a Secretary of State.

Shame on the candidate, for his ramarks and for the embarrassment he has brought LP.
