Iowa judge rules Senate candidate Abby Finkenauer can't appear on Democratic primary ballot
CNN
A judge in Iowa ruled on Sunday that Democratic Senate candidate Abby Finkenauer cannot appear on the state's June 7 primary ballot, dealing a significant blow to her already longshot hopes of unseating Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley.
"Ms. Finkenauer's name shall not be included on the primary ballot for the Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate," Polk County District Judge Scott Beattie wrote in the ruling.
The ruling centers around a dispute over the signatures required to get on the ballot. Although Finkenaur's campaign submitted more than the necessary 3,500 signatures, the judge found that she did not meet the requirement that each candidate have at least 100 signatures from at least 19 Iowa counties due to questions about three signatures obtained from Allamakee and Cedar counties.
