Theresa Greenfield comes up short of signatures on nominating petitions in Ia-03
Strange set of circumstances - her campaign manager of all people, forged signatures on her nominating petitions. So she threw them all out and made a valiant effort to collect all 1790 GOOD signatures in one day.
That's a shame.

Two short months ago, there were seven candidates running in the Democratic primary for Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District. Only three remain set to appear on the ballot as of today, though Theresa Greenfield is vowing to push on after coming up just short in her last-ditch effort to collect new petition signatures in one day. There may be some legal options, though those are unclear at the moment, or she may just end up running a write-in campaign for the primary.
The Secretary of State’s office confirmed that Greenfield’s second submission of petitions contained 1,592, just 198 under the 1,790 required signatures for 3rd District candidates. Greenfield scrambled last Friday to re-do her entire petitions after her campaign manager admitted Thursday evening that he had forged a number of the signatures.
