A state court judge has ruled that the Democratic candidate for the US Senate cannot appear on the June 7 primary ballot. A judge appointed by the governor overturned a decision by a three-member panel of state elected officials. The panel concluded last week that the campaign staffers had complied with Iowa law, which requires candidates to get at least 100 signatures from at least 19 counties. Two Republicans challenged the petition papers, saying signatures from at least two counties did not meet the requirements. The panel, which includes the secretary of state, attorney general and state auditor, has found petitions to be in substantial compliance with the law in the past. Attorney General Tom Miller and Auditor Rob Sand, both Democrats, voted to allow Finkenauer's petitions citing past precedent for giving deference to campaigns that used the proper forms and made efforts to comply with the law. Secretary of State Paul Pate was a Republican. The Iowa Objection Panel decided last week that the signatures challenged by Kim and Leanne were valid. The law clearly states that each signature should be accompanied by a date, and that was the conclusion of Beattie. His decision knocked signatures from Allamakee and Cedar counties off of her petitions, which meant her campaign failed to submit at least 100 signatures from at least 19 counties as required. He didn't take joy in the decision. The court shouldn't be in the position to make a difference in an election and Ms. Finkenauer should have a chance to advance her candidacy. The court's job is to apply the law without passion or prejudice. The politics of the day are not taken into account when it is necessary to rule. The court tried to fulfill that role here. Beattie was accused of doing the bidding of some people in Washington. She said that the midnight ruling was an outrageous and partisan gift to the Washington Republicans. She is confident that she has met the requirements to be on the ballot, as her petitions had more than 5,000 signatures. Last week, he promised to file a decision by midnight Sunday to give both sides time to appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court. The decision was filed at 10:49 pm. Sunday. Pate wants to have ballots printed and sent to overseas voters by April 23, so he needs to know by Friday if Finkenauer qualifies. The three Democrats vying to be on the ballot are a retired Navy admiral, a doctor and a city council member. The winner of the primary will face the incumbent senator. Alan R. Ostergren said that the judge's decision was a victory for the rule of law. He said that Iowans expect candidates to follow state law and to follow the same rules as the hundreds of other candidates who qualified to be on the ballot.
