While the Democrats are saying that John McCain doesn’t have enough signatures in Indiana’s 4th Congressional District, the GOP says there are 531 signatures for John McCain from the district — enough to keep John McCain on the ballot.
Reports AP writer Tom Davies:
Republicans said today they were confident presidential candidate John McCain has enough petition signatures to appear on the Indiana primary ballot despite a challenge filed by the operator of a liberal Internet site.
The challenge claims the McCain petitions filed Feb. 12 with the Indiana secretary of state’s office did not have the required 500 signatures from each of the state’s nine congressional districts.
Indiana Republican spokesman Jay Kenworthy said he checked the McCain petition on Thursday and counted 531 signatures from the 4th Congressional District, the one in question.
“It is a completely bogus charge from the Democrats and their surrogates,” Kenworthy said.
State Democratic Chairman Dan Parker, however, said a member of his staff counted 496 signatures from the 4th District.
