The Examiner said the eight-person court struck down an emergency request from Ohio’s Libertarian Party late Monday.

Buckeye State libertarians first asked Associate Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan for a full-court vote last week, it said.

The Washington Examiner added that Ohio’s ballot template is due Tuesday, making it difficult for Johnson and Weld to receive Libertarian status by then.

Libertarian and independent candidates were forced into battling over the same ballot slot after the former lost its minor-party status, the newspaper continued. Ohio’s Libertarian Party has since lost in appeals court multiple times this summer before Monday’s Supreme Court move.

Reports emerged last week Johnson is appearing on the ballot in Ohio despite a mishap in which staffers left his name off the state’s filing paperwork.

Johnson aides purportedly listed placeholders instead of his name or Weld’s when submitting petitions for their addition.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted said on Aug. 24 the campaign could swap names so long as it verified petition signatures.

Johnson and other independent candidates were required to submit 5,000 valid signatures from qualified Ohio voters to secure a spot on the state’s ballot.
