Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson's effort to be listed on the Iowa ballot in November has been challenged. <\/p>\n
Documents challenging Johnson's candidacy were filed Friday by three individuals including Jay Kramer, who says he's the Iowa election day operations director for Republican Mitt Romney's campaign. <\/p>\n
Republican Secretary of State Matt Schultz scheduled a hearing for Monday afternoon. Shultz, a representative from the state auditor's office, and Democratic Attorney General Tom Miller will decide whether to uphold or deny the challenge. <\/p>\n
Libertarians say they held a state convention at the Iowa State Fair to get Johnson, the former Republican governor from New Mexico, onto Iowa's ballot. <\/p>\n
The challenge says Libertarians didn't hold a real convention or sign up actual delegates. <\/p>\n
Candidates must be certified for Iowa's ballot by 5 p.m. Wednesday. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
