Former Rep. Abby Finkenauer can now rest easy. Iowa’s state Supreme Court just overturned a lower court ruling that would have knocked the leading Democrat off the primary ballot for Senate.

As the Washington Examiner’s Kate Scanlon explains, Iowa requires statewide candidates to gather at least 3,500 signatures on their nomination petitions, including “at least 100 signatures from at least 19 counties to qualify for the ballot.” A lower court had thrown Finkenauer off the ballot because three (yes, that’s a three, as in Larry, Curly, and Moe) apparently invalid signatures in two counties put her below the required number. Republican election officials on the complaint panel had been willing to give Finkenauer a pass, but two citizen complainants appealed.
