Bobby Jindal Leaves His Name on New Hampshire Republican Presidential Primary Ballot

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal ended his campaign for the Republican nomination for president on November 17. He was free to then withdraw his name from the New Hampshire presidential primary (his $1,000 filing fee had arrived in the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s mail on November 16). But he did not withdraw, and because he did not withdraw by the end of the day November 20, his name remains on the ballot.

Arkansas will permit him to withdraw, but he hasn’t done that yet, and even if he does, he won’t get his $15,000 Arkansas filing fee back. Most of that money went to the Arkansas Republican Party, which has a policy that such fees are not refundable.
