Two petitions have been submitted in New Hampshire to place Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., on the ballot. One has his label as “We the People” and the other is “Libertarian.”
New Hampshire has no name protection for unqualified parties, and in 2008 two separate presidential candidates appeared on the ballot, both with the label “Libertarian”, Bob Barr and George Phillies.
Assuming both Kennedy petitions are valid, he will be listed on the ballot as “We the People, Libertarian.” He would only be listed once. His campaign is not responsible for the petition with the Libertarian label. It seems that the Kennedy Libertarian petition was completed by individuals not formally connected with Kennedy, possibly for federal campaign finance purposes.
Chase Oliver has also completed his petition in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is one of only five states with a party column ballot format. The New Hampshire Secretary of State has a habit of squeezing Libertarians and independents into a single party column labelled “Libertarian and Other”, instead of giving separate columns.
