Gary Johnson removed from Oklahoma ballot


Independent Political Report
September 15th, 2012


Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party nominee for President has been removed from the ballot in the state of Oklahoma even after successfully getting on it through the efforts of Americans Elect.


The Oklahoma Supreme Court on Thursday (September 13) denied a temporary injunction the Americans Elect party sought to regain a ballot line for Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson and his running mate, James P. Gray.

The court upheld a state Election Board decision removing Johnson and Gray from the ballot.​


Oklahoma is known for having very difficult ballot access laws, and this serves as a blow to the Johnson campaign, who up until now was confident that they would appear on all 50 states.

Third party won't be on Oklahoma's November ballot



The Oklahoma Supreme Court has ruled that local members of the Americans Elect Party didn't have the authority from the national group to seek having presidential and vice presidential nominees placed on the state's Nov. 6 general election ballot.​

Difficult is an understatement.

Yeah, the local LP trusted Americans Elect and it was a major mistake. We should have just done the massive petition ourselves as usual...

Why would the LP trust Americans Elect?
