On June 15, Iowa state officials removed three Libertarians from the ballot. They include the party’s nominees for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and U.S. House in one district. See this story.
No one questioned the validity of the signatures. Approximately 8,000 had been gathered for the ticket of Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The candidates expect to sue to reverse the decision.
The party is on for one other U.S. House seat, and for U.S. Senate.

They used fake names. This is the correct decision.
Why does a guy whose legal name is Mark Thomas Andersen go by the name Marco Battaglia?
The only part of the decision that was wrong was to allow Richard Stewart to falsely petition on to the ballot as “Rick.”
