Libertarian Colleagues, Some of you may be interested in some recent media coverage of our ballot access lawsuit:
"On June 9, there was a Republican primary election to select their candidate to run for Congress in Virginias Eighth District. That day was also the deadline for independent candidates to file their petitions to run against incumbent Democrat Jim Moran. ... In July, the Virginia State Board of Elections certified three qualified candidates whose names will be printed on the ballot: Republican J. Patrick Murray; Democrat James P. "Jim" Moran Jr and Independent Green Party Candidate J. Ron Fisher. Libertarian Party of Virginia Candidate Matthew R. Mosley was not certified as eligible to run because his petition did not contain the required 1,000 signatures of qualified voters in the Eighth District. The Libertarian Party of Virginia sued the State Board of Elections and is awaiting a ruling from federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia."
