(ABC 6 News) — In Iowa, a judge says he will soon decide if Libertarian congressional candidates will make it onto the November ballot.

This comes after Republicans on a state objection panel removed the candidates last month.

They ruled that the Libertarian Party violated state code by holding county conventions and caucuses on the same day.

During a hearing on Thursday, the Libertarian Party argued the state panel shouldn’t be allowed to make this decision, calling it voter suppression.

The judge noted the case will likely go to a higher court after his ruling is made.
