GAB kicks Nygren off the ballot
The Government Accountability Board today ruled GOP state Rep. John Nygren didn't have enough valid signatures on his nomination papers to qualify for the ballot in the 30th SD recall election.
The board found Nygren, R-Marinette, had 398 valid signatures, two short of what he needed. Earlier in the afternoon, the board rejected a challenge to Republican David VanderLeest's nomination papers, leaving him the only Republican on the ballot to challenge Dem Sen. Dave Hansen.
That sets up a July 19 election between VanderLeest and Hansen, D-Green Bay.
