The Commission on Presidential Debates has weighed in. Its Nonpartisan Candidate Selection Criteria will not allow Gary Johnson or Jill Stein into the first presidential debate, which is scheduled to take place on Sept. 26 at Hofstra University in New York. USA Today: "Candidates were required to reach 15% support in a selection of national polls to qualify... Johnson had 8.4% backing, while Stein had 3.2%." Johnson and running mate, Bill Weld, plan to hold their own debates. Weld, speaking to Reason last week: "[We will be] standing together on the street corner outside every debate venue answering the same questions as in the debate in real time, you know, putting it out on Facebook."
