Although the Libertarian Party petitions in the District of Columbia for president, and for Delegate to the U.S. House, did not succeed, one D.C. Libertarian petition did succeed. The party’s candidate for “shadow” U.S. Senate, Damien Lincoln Ober, is on the ballot. He has a striking campaign video, which can be seen at www.shadow08.com.
The race for “shadow” U.S. Senator has three other candidates, those of the Democratic, Republican, and Statehood Green Parties. Thanks to IndependentPoliticalReport for the news.
Can the LP earn permanent ballot status with enough votes in this race?
Richard,
The only missing state in your Petitioning Chart for President is for Bob Barr and the LP in Connecticut. Everything else is either “already on” “too late” “disputed” “in court” or “write in.”
This doesn’t look good. When will we find out about Barr in CT?
If I’m not mistaken, in order for the Libertarians to stay on the ballot in DC, they need something like 75,000 votes in a race. Am I right, Richard?
