Iowa's Supreme Court reversed a decision by a state district court to keep her off the ballot, due to three allegedly invalid signatures.
Iowa's Supreme Court ruled Friday that Abby Finkenauer, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Iowa, will be allowed to remain on the ballot, Republicans who filed the original challenge took issue with three signatures submitted by Finkenauer's campaign, two with missing dates and one with an incorrect date. The state Supreme Court found that missing or incorrect dates are not specific reasons listed to overturn a petition signature, according to state law.
"The Iowa Supreme Court's unanimous decision today has affirmed that we are right on the law, and that we will be on the ballot for U.S. Senate. This is a moment for all advocates for democracy – Democrats, Republicans, and Independents – to celebrate the enduring strength of our democratic process and a reminder to never take it for granted," Finkenauer wrote in a statement.
