The Libertarian Party petition for ballot access in the upcoming special election for State House, 42nd district, has been rejected. The party was initially told it was 19 signatures short. It found 30 signatures that it believed had been erroneously rejected. The state accepted six signatures. It said evidence about the remaining signatures was submitted too late. See this story.

All of this will be evidence in the pending lawsuit over whether the state must give a free list of the registered voters to unqualified parties that are petitioning. That case is now undergoing discovery.

Aaron Lewis, a publisher and an independent candidate for Mayor of Hartford, Connecticut, in the November 2019 election, as changed his voter registration from “Democratic” to “Libertarian”. See this story. However, it is too late for him to change his partisan label on the ballot.

According to Frontloading HQ, the Virginia Republican Party has voted to skip the 2020 presidential primary.
