lawsuit

MANCHESTER--The New Hampshire Republican Party has won a lawsuit filed against the state of New Hampshire. The suit alleged that Republican observers were not allowed to stand near tables for same-day registration voters.

Observers will now be allowed to have "reasonable access" to the registration tables.

Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr and the New Hampshire Libertarian Party has filed a lawsuit against the state of New Hampshire attempting to remove George Phillies from the ballot, The Nashua Telegraph reported.

Phillies, also a libertarian presidential candidate, qualified to appear on the November ballot despite the fact that the national Libertarian party nominated Barr in May.

Libertarian Party of New Hampshire Presidential candidate George Phillies today decried the Bob Barr Lawsuit against Secretary of State William Gardner as a 'cheap political stunt'. The suit seeks to remove Phillies from the November General Election ballot.

The initial suit was filed in mid-September; Secretary Gardner was not served with notice of the suit until October 3. "It's too late," Phillies said. "Ballots are already been printed and distributed. Barr is trying to frustrate the will of New Hampshire Libertarians. The Libertarian State Convention chose me as their nominee in Spring 2007. Barr's New Hampshire cronies waited through the next Libertarian State Convention, the petitioning period, and most of the general election campaign before suing." Phillies noted that there is considerable evidence that the suit is actually being funded by a D.C. Libertarian group, not by any of the plaintiffs.
