The board Aug. 11 rejected the candidate petitions for a series of reasons including not having enough valid signatures of registered voters and presenting an incomplete circulator statement.
Both the Enslen and McMaken petitions were thrown out due to not having enough valid signatures.
Enslen filed a request for board review of his nominating petitions Aug. 16, stating he thinks one signature was invalidated in error by elections office staff during the checking of petition signatures. The elections board said he had 24 of 25 needed signatures.
McMaken’s request for review was filed by attorney Frank Patrizio, who stated she had enough sufficient signatures. The board said she, too, did not have enough valid signatures.
The board will consider the candidates’ requests at its monthly board meeting scheduled Tuesday, Aug. 24.
