Ma1'01123, 2018 i Mr. Paul D. Pate lowa Secretary of State First Floor, Lucas Building 321 12th St Des Moines LA 50319 RE: Nomination Petition Challenge Dear Mr. Pate: Please accept this letter as official notice to challenge the Nomination Petitions of Mr. SteVe King. In accordance with Iowa Election Laws, Iowa Code Section 43.24, i am ?ling a written objection to challenge Mr. King?s Nomination Petitions based upon the following reasons: 1. Prior to anyone signing a Nomination Petition, the header of the Petition page is to be completed in its entirety. Several of Mr. King?s Nomination Petitions have signatures on pages Where the information in the header is hand-written. The only way a Nomination Petition is valid is if all information in the entire header is completed PRIOR TO any signatures being obtained on the Nomination Petition page. The only valid signatures that are those applied after the header is completed in full. Mr. King demonstrated his ability to produce petitions with the header completed and printed in entirety. Therefore, it is suspect that a plethora of signatures collected in the last days of the petition ?ling window are on pages with a county name hand-written rather than printed. It appears signatures were collected from eligible signors and then a determination was made about which county should be hand?written into that blank of the header. Since it is nearly impossible to line up a paper to have a blank completed electronically once it has been printed once, it is much more likely that the signatures were obtained on the Petitions prior to the header being completed. The header could not be completed electronically after signatures were collected, so it was hand-written in. All Nomination Petitions of Mr. King in which the header was not completed in electronic form should be disallowed. A number of Mr. King?s petitions do not contain original signatures. Submission of a copy, fax or scanned document makes it impossible to determine if the signatures were collected on the document being submitted (with a fully complete header) or were ?cut and pasted? to appear as though they are one document. Therefore, nomination petitions containing scanned, copied, faxed or other non?original signatures should be disallowed. 4. Once all signatures on pages with hand-written information in the headers or non? original signatures are invalidated, Mr. King will not have the required minimum number of signatures in the minimum 20 of the 39 counties in District 4 to qualify him to be on the ballot for the June 5, 2018 Primary. 5. Therefore, Mr. King cannot have his name printed on the ballot for the June 5, 2018 Primary for US House of Representatives District 4. Respectfully submitted, QWW Dr. Cyndi Hanson PO Box 3553 Sioux City IA 51 102 Enclosure? 1. Five examples of petitions with pie-printed information, demonstrating understanding of need for complete header information prior to signature collection. 2. Eight examples of petitions with hand?written information and signatures dated near the ?ling deadline. 3. One example of nonvoriginal Si gnatul?es. Notation copies of ALL hand-written pages are not included in this sampling of enclosures.
