Libertarians Face Ballot Challenge in Iowa U.S. House Race
After no Libertarian candidates ran in Iowa’s June primary, the party used a special nominating convention to field contenders in three districts. Objections to their eligibility were upheld by the State Objections Panel, removing Gluba in the 1st, Battaglia in the 3rd, and Aldrich in the 4th. The candidates challenge the ruling in district court, arguing the panel overstepped its authority and that the Libertarian Party followed state law. The panel, led by Pate, Bird, and Sand, maintains ballot integrity requires strict compliance with rules before access to the general election ballot.
