The District of Columbia Board of Elections has determined that the petition for the Libertarian Party presidential nominee is sufficient and that Gary Johnson will appear on the ballot.

In 2008, Libertarian Party presidential nominee Bob Barr missed the ballot in six jurisdictions: Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Louisiana, Maine, Oklahoma, and West Virginia. Of those six jurisdictions, Johnson this year is now on the ballot in four of them. Connecticut is still checking the petition and Johnson’s ballot placement in Oklahoma will depend on the outcome of litigation involving the Oklahoma Americans Elect Party and is ability to place Johnson on the ballot. The Oklahoma lawsuit was filed on August 31.

On August 30, the Nevada Secretary of State filed this brief with the Ninth Circuit, asking for a stay of the U.S. District Court order that removed “None of these candidates” from the November 2012 ballot for statewide office. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link. The case is Townley v Miller.

On August 30, the Florida Secretary of State recognized the Justice Party as ballot-qualified.
