Munger keeps Libertarians on NC ballot

RALEIGH _ Thanks to voters supporting a Libertarian candidate for governor and a recent change in North Carolina law, the party will retain its state ballot status through 2012.
Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Mike Munger won almost 3 percent of the vote in Tuesday's election. State law permits a third party to stay on the ballot for four years if it wins at least 2 percent of the vote in races for governor or president.
A 2006 law lowered the voter-support threshold from 10 percent. The change makes it easier for third parties to avoid costly petition drives.
Munger said in a statement Tuesday that his party will work to run several competitive races in future elections. He said he would seek the Libertarian nomination for state Senate in 2010 and governor in 2012.
