(Des Moines, IA) — An Iowa District Court judge has issued an injunction halting the certification of ballots for the November 5 election. The stop is for the judge to review a challenge from the Libertarian Party. A state panel recently removed the party’s candidates, Nicholas Gluba, Marco Battaglia, and Charles Aldrich, from the ballot for alleged procedural errors. The Libertarians argue the removal was unfair and a violation of their rights, while state officials insist that strict adherence to election laws is crucial. Judge Michael Huppert has promised a swift ruling, acknowledging that the case might ultimately reach the Iowa Supreme Court.
