COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A federal appeals court has rejected a
request for emergency action by the Libertarian Party of Ohio as it
tries to ensure its gubernatorial candidate gets on the May primary
ballot.
The court rejected Libertarians’ demand that Secretary of
State Jon Husted (HYOO’-sted) stop printing the party’s primary ballot
until the matter is resolved.
The court also refused the party’s
request that Husted be forced to seek a waiver to the requirement that
military and overseas ballots be mailed by Saturday.
The 6th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati said Friday the court will take
quick action on the party’s overall request to get contender Charlie
Earl on the ballot.
Earl was disqualified on the grounds that two Earl petitioners failed to properly disclose their
employers.
