BREAKING: An Iowa judge has ruled U.S. Senate candidate Abby Finkenauer has failed to qualify for the Democratic primary ballot — a major setback for her campaign that is likely to be appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court. #iasen desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
The judge's ruling reverses a state panel's decision which found Finkenauer did qualify for the ballot. The judge wrote that the panel was wrong to count three signatures with missing or incorrect dates. Without those three, Finkenauer fails to qualify. desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
"This misguided, midnight ruling is an outrageous and partisan gift to the Washington Republicans who orchestrated this meritless legal action. We are exploring all of our options to fight back hard against this meritless partisan attack," Finkenauer says. desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
“The judge’s order carefully analyzed the requirement under Iowa law that a petition signature is dated by the signer. He agreed with our argument that the panel could not simply ignore that requirement," said @AlanOstergren, the GOP challengers' attorney. desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
Abby Finkenauer says she will appeal the judge's decision keeping her off the primary ballot to the Iowa Supreme Court. #iasen desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
