CANNOT DIVIDE VOTE ON PETITION
In Edmunds county a minority party sought to nominate a county commissioner but the governor’s last election results left their candidate with five votes in that district. The primary law sets the petition signer cap at five percent of the governor vote and a floor of three percent. The plan would push a single name beyond the five percent limit.
County Auditor Advised to Accept Filing Despite Possible Impossibility
The county auditor consulted the state law department and was advised to accept the filing. The law stated that another demand cannot be required when impossible, noting that keeping a petition down to five percent would be manifestly impossible.
