MILWAUKEE (SPECTRUM NEWS) — Wisconsin is one of 41 states in the nation currently set to include a Libertarian Party candidate on the ballot for the upcoming presidential election. 

Jo Jorgensen is backed by Wisconsinite supporters who worked hard this summer to support her. 

Libertarian supporters like Andrew Jacobs who spent a lot of time on the beach this summer, but not soaking up the sun or relaxing. Jacobs was out collecting signatures to include the Libertarian candidate on the ballot in the badger state. 

“To place the libertarian party presidential ticket on the ballot in Wisconsin," said Andrew Jacobs.

Sometimes receiving rejection, but never giving up because he was on a mission to obtain 2,000 signatures to give Wisconsinites a third voting option. The number of petition signatures to include a candidate from a different party on the ballot for the presidential elections varies by state. 

Pennsylvania and Maryland are the other two states which will include the Libertarian Party on the ballot, both requiring a minimum requirement of 5,000 signatures.

“I think it's cool he’s on a big beach with a lot of young people and I hope like open minded people because then they can be exposed to more things and he has the opportunity to get these people [...] involved," said Micah Wirsching. 

Soon realizing his effort resonated with a lot of young badger state residents who value having a third alternative.

“I feel like a three party system or more than that would be better for people to feel like they’re represented well and people to feel like they get the justice that they need," said Lilianna Lopez. 

​Jacobs and others who collected signatures for the libertarian party, exceeded the goal by collecting over 3,000 signatures in Wisconsin.

Making sure there was no room for disqualified signatures to keep them from adding Candidate Jo Jorgensen and her Vice President pick Entrepreneur Spike Cohen on the Wisconsin ballot.

“Check out the libertarian party’s presidential candidate Jo Jorgensen […] and I would also recommend checking out other minor parties and independents as well because there’s more out there than democrat and republican," said Jacobs. 

Now Libertarians in Wisconsin just have to wait and see if other petitioning efforts in the remaining states can also achieve the same for their voters.
