Report: D'Ippolito Misses the Ballot

She submitted just three signatures in Marion County (and she needed 500), so so it appears she missed the ballot.

Or did she?

Note there's a fair chance other people have submitted a good number of signatures on her behalf-- and they seem to be looking only at the stack of signatures she herself submitted.

Did anyone from Marion County submit signatures for her? Might be a good idea to figure this out, because the clerks, if they're Democrats, have a very strong interest in "overlooking" those petitions.

She's saying she thinks she has them...

Reached at her home, d'Ippolito said she was on her way out the door to drop off more signatures at the county clerk's office. "To my knowledge, yes we do. There's people putting in signatures as we speak," d'Ippolito said when asked if she has the signatures necessary to qualify for the ballot. "The answer is yes."

...but she has an interest in saying that.

It's likely that at least half of all signatures (if not more) will be disqualified -- and the Democrats will be attempting to disqualify very aggressively here -- so she really needed like 1000 (if not more) from each district.
