Chris Christie May Not Make the Maine Ballot

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is in danger of not appearing on Maine’s primary ballot after he fell short of the minimum 2,000 signatures needed from Maine voters to qualify for the state’s Republican presidential primary, state officials said Friday.

A letter from Maine’s Director of Elections Heidi M. Peckham said Christie’s campaign only submitted “844 names certified by municipal registrars.” Candidates had to file signatures with the municipal clerks for certification before submitting them to the Secretary of State’s office by 5 p.m. Friday.
