| Description | Republican congressional candidate Erik Aadland has filed a lawsuit asking a district court judge to order his inclusion on Colorado's June primary ballot, claiming he submitted enough valid signatures on nominating petitions despite an earlier ruling by election officials that he hadn't.
In a lawsuit filed late Monday in Denver District Court, Aadland argues that state officials threw out signatures belonging to 49 Republican voters who live in the district. The lawsuit also says officials rejected 81 signatures because they didn't match the signatures on file in a statewide voter database and asks for access to the signature files so his campaign can prove some should have been accepted.
Aadland, one of five Republicans running in the Jefferson County-based 7th Congressional District, announced a week ago that he was switching to the assembly process after the Colorado Secretary of State's Office notified him on March 14 that he had failed to qualify for the primary by petition, falling 46 signatures short of the 1,500 valid signatures required for congressional candidates. |
