Libertarian activists are finding many valid signatures in Connecticut that had been invalidated by town clerks. As noted earlier, the town clerks had initially found that the petition only had a 54% validity rate, and that the party’s presidential petition is 501 signatures short. At the rate activists are finding valid signatures that seem to have been invalidated in error, the evidence that the petition really does have enough valid signatures should be in hand by September 22.

Several Connecticut newspapers are reporting today on the LP’s failure to get Barr on the ballot.
That just shows newspapers don’t always know everything that is going on.
Thank you Richard for the update
Coming back to the LP Says:

“If you want to get the 500 sigs you need, you will have to get a team of people to go town by town and research each individual voter registration of the rejected sigs and prove, one by one, that valid sigs were incorrectly invalidated or not found.
It’s much easier to collect an adequate number in the first place.”
Glad to hear that this revalidation by the LP is working. I hope you have enough.
Just more evidence that the system is broken.
Nader on in Conn, Nuber 47?
Number 46.
So, will we get an update today?
Did they find enough good sigs to make up the 500 signature differential?
