This week, District 28 Republican State Senate candidate Susan Peterson successfully was placed on the ballot after a delay in her candidacy. She will be facing Sam Marty in the primary, and later Dean Schrempp in the general election.
But on the flipside, District 29 House candidate Aaron M Schrader had his petitions successfully challenged, and was decertified from the ballot.
Which brings up a few questions, as I’m personally aware of a number of other petition challenges that were filed last week/early this week. But the news from the Secretary of State’s office? Crickets.
Understandably, those challenges take some time, and probably involve a review by staff and/or counsel. But they drew for ballot position this morning, and the printing of ballots is impending.
So you would think they would move a little faster on this?
Everything is so slow in that office now!
