 CONCORD, N.H. AP - The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire has sued the governor and secretary of state, saying that the required 3,000 signatures needed from registered voters to get candidates on the ballot for the 2020 elections is unreasonable during the coronavirus pandemic. New Hampshire Public Radio reports in a complaint filed in federal court Monday, the Libertarian Party said signatures are typically collected door-to-door, and it is less safe to do that now. The party is asking the state to lower the signature requirement or suspend it altogether for the upcoming elections. The New Hampshire Attorney Generals office says it is reviewing the case and will respond. Similar lawsuits have been filed on behalf of Libertarians in Georgia, Illinois and Pennsylvania. ___ THE NUMBERS As of Monday, 5,079 people have tested positive for the virus in New Hampshire, an increase of 37 from the previous day. The number of deaths stood at 286. For most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms. For some, especially older adults and the infirm, it can cause more severe illness and can lead to death.
