Stapleton appeals ruling blocking Montana Green Party from ballot
HELENA – Montana Secretary of State Corey Stapleton is asking the state Supreme Court to overturn a judge’s decision to remove Green Party candidates from the November ballot.
Stapleton’s office filed an appeal Wednesday of the decision by District Judge James Reynolds of Helena.
Reynolds ruled last week that 87 of the more than 7,000 signatures used to qualify the Montana Green Party for the ballot were invalid. Without those signatures, the party fell short of the requirement that it get a minimum number in at least 34 of Montana’s 100 state House districts.
