On September 20, the New Hampshire Ballot Law Commission put Virgil Goode on the ballot. The attorney for the Secretary of State tried to persuade them not to do that. He said it would create a “bad” precedent. Goode had enough valid signatures, but some of the town clerks had not finished checking his signatures by the deadline, although they finished after the deadline. It wasn’t Goode’s fault that some of the town clerks didn’t finish the work in time.

Also, Goode had showed that some of the signatures had been improperly invalidated, but the towns had been told by the state not to re-validate those signatures. Goode’s campaign presented evidence of this and the Commissioners saw the justice in his position and voted 5-0 to put him on the ballot. Goode is now on the ballot in 26 states, which contain 48% of the Electoral College vote.

Guam is the only U.S. possession that holds a November vote for President. Because Guam has no electoral votes, the popular results don’t “count”. Guam has been holding such popular votes for President in November starting in 1980.

The Guam presidential ballot will contain President Obama, Mitt Romney, and Gary Johnson, according to the Guam Election Commission.

Past Libertarian Party presidential showings in Guam have been: 2008 .66%; 2004 .20%; 2000 1.20%; 1996 1.54%; 1992 .67%; 1988 .53%; 1984 .50%; 1980 .80%.

On September 19, Free & Equal announced that Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, and Virgil Goode have each agreed to participate in a presidential debate on October 23, Tuesday, at 8 p.m. central time. Free & Equal is sponsoring the debate. The Republican and Democratic nominees are also invited but it is very likely they will not attend. The last debate between the Democratic and Republican nominees will have been on October 22.

Free & Equal invited every candidate who was either on the ballot in states containing a majority of the electoral vote, or who have registered at 1% in a national opinion poll.

The event will be at the University Club of Chicago.
