INDIANAPOLIS (WISH/AP) - Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum failed to qualify for the Indiana May 8 presidential primary ballot.
State Republican Chairman Eric Holcomb tells 24-Hour News 8 that Santorum failed to gather enough signatures in one district.
All statewide candidates are required to obtain 500 valid signatures from each of Indiana's nine congressional districts in order to be placed on the ballot. The Marion County Board of Elections has ruled that Santorum fell 24 signatures short in Indiana's 7th District.
Santorum told reporters in Missouri on Friday that he is challenging the ruling. Indiana supporters say the board incorrectly threw out 200 signatures submitted by the campaign.
