We have ballot access drives underway this weekend in Maine, Maryland, New
Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin (among other states but those are
the ones of greatest concern). Please do what you can to encourage people
in those states to submit signatures or otherwise help with those efforts!
Maine and NH especially need a big push this weekend, and we are paying
gatherers $4 per signature there.
Details below.
MAINE: 4,000 signatures are due 8/3. If you are a Maine registered voter
who has not yet signed the petition, go to:
https://www.lpme.org/petition_promise, and contact jbaines at lpme.org to help
us gather signatures this weekend.
NEW JERSEY: 800 signatures due 7/27. NJ voters can help at
https://njlp.org/uploads/petitions/?fbclid=IwAR31rJ5ewvP8bqmyT5d8HH08r1SzCR-1tYWCHmUjdlOH3S6gOm8lX497xME
MARYLAND: 5,000 signatures due 8/3. This is a big number and the Maryland
party is working hard to collect them. For the first time ever, signatures
can be collected completely electronically. Please let any friend of yours
who is a registered Maryland voter know, that they can get us onto the
ballot by going to https://www.md-petition.com/invite/LPMD.php. You can
fill out a paper signature form instead at https://lpmaryland.org/petition/.
Contact Bob Johnston in the MD party for more details.
PENNSYLVANIA: 5,000 signatures due 8/3. We have teams of people gathering
signatures to hit this high threshold; contact Jennifer Moore for more
details. PA voters can print out a form (on 8-1/2 x 14 paper), print it
out, and send it in from
https://lppa.org/2020/07/22/signature-sheet-printing/
WISCONSIN: 2,000 signatures due 8/4. Teams of petitioners are working to
gather signatures, with a big push planned for this weekend. You can help
by going to
https://lpwi.org/2020/07/01/jo-jorgensen-for-president-ballot-nomination-instructions/.
Contact Patrick Baird for more details.
NEW HAMPSHIRE: 3,000 signatures due 8/5, with 1,500 each from the two
congressional districts. We are doing our best in that drive, but the state
requires signatures be given in person. The New Hampshire LP has a pending
lawsuit challenging the requirements given the COVID situation. Contact
chair at lpnh.org or vicechair at lpnh.org to help us gather signatures.
