Isn’t it funny how strict governments can be when it comes to finding excuses to keep Libertarian and other new-party candidates off the ballot, and how tolerant they are when it comes to the old parties’ not meeting those election regulations?
Well, maybe not funny after all.

Even if they end up making it on the ballot, keep in mind that if the job would have been done better in the first place this wouldn’t be an issue right now.

Also, keep in mind that the LP ballot access failures in West Virginia, Maine, Washington DC, and Louisiana were also due to mismanagement.

Is there anyone likely to contest these newly found sigs?

This is great news!

The LP should make it on the CT ballot. The Sec of State should just relent and put Barr on the ballot. If not, the judge surely will now, given that there are enough proven sigs.

Thank G-d . Now we have to hope that Connecticut does the right thing and allows Barr on the ballot this late in the game. Please email that states officials to do the right thing
