Aaron Day, Independent for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire, Completes Petition Drive

Aaron Day, an independent candidate for U.S. Senate, has finished his petition drive.  He collected 5,000 signatures and 3,000 are needed.  However, assuming his petition is valid, he is still not certain to be on the ballot, because the Secretary of State had rejected his Declaration of Candidacy because when he filed it, he had not yet updated his voter registration to list his new address (because of New Hampshire’s cumbersome procedures for voter registration, it was impossible for him to do so).

His federal lawsuit, arguing that candidates for Congress cannot be kept off the ballot over voter registration status, is still pending.  A decision is likely at any time.
