Independent Candidate Aaron Day Wins Preliminary Ruling to Appear on NH Senate Ballot
Aaron Day, an independent candidate for the U.S. Senate, has won a preliminary ruling in his lawsuit against New Hampshire's election officials, allowing him to appear on the November ballot. Day, a libertarian activist, was initially blocked from the ballot due to not being registered to vote in his new residence. He argued that the state's requirements were unconstitutional, as the U.S. Constitution only specifies age, citizenship, and residency at the time of election as qualifications. A federal magistrate judge sided with Day, stating that the state's application of its regulations was not constitutionally sound.
