New Mexico Libertarian Party Will Try to Put Three Statewide Nominees on the Ballot This Year

According to this story, the New Mexico Libertarian Party will try to qualify three statewide nominees for the November ballot this year. The party has nominees for U.S. Senate, Auditor, and Justice of the Appellate Court. The party is a qualified minor party, but in New Mexico, even when a party is a qualified minor party, it needs a petition of 2% of the last gubernatorial vote in order to nominate anyone except president. The petition deadline is in late June.

  1. It is really sad when az is the most reasonable poster so far on this thread!

  2. I am pretty sure that for candidates of recognized political parties in New Mexico only people registered to vote with that party or registered non-partisan can sign the petitions.

  3. Casual Observer said something retarded and supported a communist. Tom Knapp is the same way.

  4. Andy, any registered voter can sign those petitions. They aren’t petitions to get on a primary ballot. They are petitions to get on the general election ballot.

  5. Oh, so it is only with major party primary petitions that the signers have to be registered with the same party or registered non-partisan.
