New Hampshire ballot

Libertarian Party of New Hampshire Presidential candidate George Phillies today decried the Bob Barr Lawsuit against Secretary of State William Gardner as a 'cheap political stunt'. The suit seeks to remove Phillies from the November General Election ballot.

The initial suit was filed in mid-September; Secretary Gardner was not served with notice of the suit until October 3. "It's too late," Phillies said. "Ballots are already been printed and distributed. Barr is trying to frustrate the will of New Hampshire Libertarians. The Libertarian State Convention chose me as their nominee in Spring 2007. Barr's New Hampshire cronies waited through the next Libertarian State Convention, the petitioning period, and most of the general election campaign before suing." Phillies noted that there is considerable evidence that the suit is actually being funded by a D.C. Libertarian group, not by any of the plaintiffs.

Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader is on his way to gaining access to the New Hampshire ballot in November.

Yesterday, Nader's campaign handed in 6,000 signatures to town clerks across the state. August 6th was the deadline for independent statewide candidates to collect 3,000 signatures.
