Libertarian Candidates Fight Ballot Ruling
News summary

Three Libertarian candidates seeking U.S. House seats in Iowa are challenging a ruling that keeps them off the ballot due to a technical violation of state law. The Iowa Supreme Court has agreed to expedite the case after Polk County District Judge Michael Huppert upheld the Iowa Objection Panel's decision, which found that the Libertarian Party held their county conventions the same day as caucuses, violating state law. The candidates argue that the panel overstepped its authority and that the objections were based on technicalities. Judge Huppert removed an injunction blocking ballot certification, allowing the Secretary of State to proceed with finalizing the November ballots. The Libertarians plan to continue their fight, potentially running as write-in candidates if necessary.
