BREAKING: Iowa Supreme Court rules that Democratic Senate candidate Abby Finkenauer qualifies for the primary ballot, allowing her to continue her campaign for the nomination and the chance to face longtime Republican Sen. Charles Grassley.
Her lawyer Gary Dickey said the unanimous decision shows the court put politics aside to reach the correct legal result.The court rejected a lower court’s ruling that found that Finkenauerthat requires candidates to submit at least 100 signatures from at least 19 counties to qualify for the ballot. A majority of justices agreed that a Polk County judge was wrong when he ruled that three signatures from two counties were invalid, leaving Finkenauer without enough signatures.
“The legislature did not include missing or incorrect dates as one of the grounds for sustaining an objection to a petition. We conclude that the recent legislation prevails,” the court said. Finkenauer called the Polk County Judge Scott Beattie’s ruling a “meritless partisan attack.” Beattie was appointed in 2018 by Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds, who also appointed four justices to the Iowa Supreme Court.
