On October 2, the Arkansas Secretary of State said that the Libertarian Party’s petition to be a qualified party (but just for the purpose of being qualified for president) is valid. That type of petition needs 1,000 signatures. The party submitted approximately 1,900. This is the first minor party ballot access petition that has been completed and found sufficient, in calendar year 2007 so far.
Any word on the AK Greens?
Do you need to name a stand-in candidate for this type of petition?
Stand-ins have nothing to do with this kind of petition. It is a petition that only specifies the party, not any candidates.
What is the state by state status of Libertarian Party presidential ballot access for the 2008 election? Is there a link with this info (possibly with a map of the 50 states)?
I noticed that lp.org is claiming access in 27 states. I’m curious about getting more info on what is going on in the other 33 states. Thanks.
never mind, i found the link:

Where is map of 50 state LP ballot access progress?
What is start date (on map) at
http://www.lp.org/index_ba08.html
In “Status” column on this page why not replace
“Cannot start”
with
“Cannot start until xx/xx”
