would they extend the same courtesy to Libertarians?

From Lesley Stedman-Weidenbener in the C-J, news that the Indiana Election Commission decided to put the Republican and Democratic candidates for Clark Circuit judge on the ballot in November.

In a unanimous ruling that can be appealed, commission members said the parties and candidates -- Republican Abe Navarro and Democrat Dan Moore -- made errors in filing papers with the Indiana Election Division that could have resulted in neither being certified.

But they also acknowledged that the election laws and rules were confusing.

"We want to err on the side of putting people on the ballot so voters get to make the decision," said Sarah Steele Riordan, a Republican on the four-member panel.

I don't remember all the details, but my memory is that some Libertarian office-seekers did not get the same angle when they fell prey to confusing/changing election laws in Indiana in 2006.
