Deval Patrick(D) doesn’t make Michigan’s primary ballot

Detroit News:

Delta Township — Former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick won’t appear on Michigan’s presidential primary ballot under a decision from the Board of State Canvassers on Friday morning.

The board unanimously agreed with a report from the Michigan Department of State that found Patrick, a Democratic candidate, failed to submit enough valid petition signatures to qualify for the state’s March 10 primary ballot.

Sally Williams, Michigan elections director, said Patrick’s signatures fell “well short” of the required number even before state officials checked whether those who signed the petitions were registered voters.

“There was no need for us to move onto the voter registration checks,” Williams said.

Patrick launched his campaign for president on Nov. 14 after Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson had already submitted lists of candidates for Michigan’s ballot. read more
