Blaha, Frazier Appeal SOS Ruling, Seek Primary Ballot Access

From Lynn Bartels in the Colorado Secretary of State’s office:

Senate candidates @RyanLFrazier and @BlahaCO appeal @ColoSecofState ruling to keep them off the ballot. 9 a.m. hearing Tuesday. #copolitics

This was an expected move after Republican Senate candidates Robert Blaha and Ryan Frazier were informed by the Secretary of State’s office that they did not have the required number of valid petition signatures in order to be included on the June 28th Primary ballot.

Fellow Republican Senate candidate Jon Keyser filed his own (successful) appeal of a similar decision early last week. Both Blaha and Frazier are probably counting on a district court judge to grant them the same leniency on petition rules.
