Better for America Qualifies for Party Status in New Mexico

On September 7, the New Mexico Secretary of State agreed to put Better for America on the ballot as a qualified party. Earlier the Secretary of State had determined that its petition did not have enough valid signatures. Better for America then sued, and the day before the court hearing, the Secretary of State settled the case and said the party will go on the ballot. It is extremely likely that Better for America will certify presidential elector candidates who are pledged to Evan McMullin.

The case had been Better for America v Winter, Santa Fe district court, d-101-cv-2016-1955.

  3. “Could the Libertarian party sue to kick them off the ballot?”

    As the Libertarian Party is a member of COFOE, I would strongly recommend they not do that.
