Ballot Access News:
"On December 14, the Libertarian Party filed this petition for a rehearing en banc in Barr v Galvin, 09-2426, the case concerning whether Bob Barr should have been on the Massachusetts ballot in 2008. The party had won this case in U.S. District Court before the election, and Massachusetts did print his name on the November ballot, even though the party’s petition had listed stand-in nominee George Phillies. But after the election was over, the First Circuit ruled that the U.S. District Court had been wrong."
