Voters in Kentucky are likely to have another choice in the presidential race, come November's general election, as Libertarian candidate Bob Barr, of Georgia, is clearing more hurdles to ballot access.

As reported earlier by PolitickerKY.com, Libertarian party canvassers and activists collected more than the required number of signatures to secure ballot access for Barr, a former U.S. Rep.

The AP now reports the signatures have been officially submitted and necessary paperwork has been filed with the Secretary of State's office.

If no successful challenge is mounted to the signatures - which were collected jointly for ex-Libertarian Senate candidate Sonny Landham - Barr should secure a spot on Kentucky's ballots.

Libertarian Party of Kentucky Chairman Ken Moellman earlier told PolitickerKY.com he thought Libertarian candidates might have success with some Republican voters in the 4th Congressional District, in northern Kentucky.
