Orman Survives Petition Challenge for Ballot Slot
Orman advances to the November ballot after the State Objections Board rejects 18 of 19 petitions. Democrat attorneys had challenged signatures and collectors, while Kobach recused himself and sent his deputy to represent the secretary of state. Orman gathered over 10,000 signatures, about 7,780 valid, meeting the 5,000 required.
