IN Senate hopeful Tamyra D'lppolito misses petition dead line according to national journal: http://hotlineoncall.nationaljournal...
It seems like the failed pizza shop owner wasn't a close as she claimed according to the article:
"An official in Marion Co. (IN) tells Hotline OnCall d’Ippolito turned in just 3 signatures in the 7th CD, the district with the highest percentage of Dem voters. The noon deadline has passed, meaning d’Ippolito failed to meet the requirements to get on the ballot. She would have been required to submit 4,500 signatures, including at least 500 from each of the state’s 9 districts."
My guess is that she just wanted attention and was fibbing about being so close. Even with the help of right wingers she couldn't get more than 3 sigs in one county.
I will try to update with more info when it comes out.
