The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled against members of the committee .
Five different members of the Libertarian party who put Johnson and Weld on the statewide ballot as independent candidates wanted the to recognize the Libertarian party as a political party on future ballots since the candidates in November 2016 election.
After all, Ohio law says political parties can be listed on future ballots if their candidates maintain 3 percent of the vote in elections.
But in this case, Johnson and Weld were nominated as Independent candidates on Ohio’s ballot . But the said because the candidates were nominated as independent candidates, without any political-party affiliation, they do not qualify to retain party ballot access.
