Barr collects 5,000 signatures in N.H.
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterNew Hampshire voters are one step closer to having the option of picking from two Libertarian presidential candidates.
Former U.S. Rep. Bob Barr has collected 5,000 signatures in the Granite State and George Phillies has already qualified to appear on the November ballot. August 6 was the deadline for thirty-party candidates to hand in 3,000 to local election officials who will then verify the signatures.
"There are no sure things when dealing with the two party system, but we have over 5000 signatures submitted for confirmation," New Hampshire Libertarian Party Chairman Brendan Kelly said in an e-mail. "I have turned in 1000 in the Seacoast area and have been getting 90% confirmation. Hope this holds up for the rest of the state."
Ralph Nader has also collected the necessary signatures to pass the first requirement.
