Law prohibiting signing ballot signature for two candidates overturned for New Hampshire independent
From Ballot Access News:
On September 15, the New Hampshire Ballot Law Commission determined that Shawn O’Connor, an independent candidate for U.S. House, 1st district, should remain on the ballot. Democratic Party officials had challenged his position on the ballot, on the grounds that some of his signers had also signed a petition for another petitioning candidate for the same office. But the Commission ruled 4-1 that the law forbidding signing for two candidates can’t be enforced, because the petition form does not warn signers that they can’t sign two petitions for the same office. See this story.
The U.S. House race, 1st district, has five candidates on the ballot: a Democrat, a Libertarian, a Republican, and two independents.
