(Radio Iowa) – A district court judge has ruled the Libertarian candidates for governor and lieutenant governor cannot be listed on Iowa’s General Election ballot. Radio Iowa’s O. Kay Henderson reports.
The Iowa Supreme Court has recently ruled in some high-profile ballot access cases. In 2022, the court overturned a lower court’s decision that Democrat Abby Finkenauer had failed to collect enough petition signatures and her name was listed on that year’s Primary ballot. In 2024, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled three Libertarian candidates had not been properly nominated by their party and could not be listed on the General Election ballot.
