Subdistricting Could Raise Petition Signature Hurdles
Iowa Secretary of State Melvin Synhorst said candidates in multi member counties may need signatures equal to 2 percent of gubernatorial votes in last general election. In Polk County 55,022 votes were cast for Hughes in 1966, needing 1,001 signatures. Democrats averaged 854 per district, implying over 250 extra signatures beyond the district average. A rule of reasonableness and county breakdowns by auditors are planned, with Atty. Gen. Turner to weigh legality.
