Charlie Wilson Denied Spot on Ballot
Charlie Wilson's attempt to succeed Ted Strickland as a Congressman from Ohio has become a little more difficult. The election board in Lisbon Ohio ruled that he did not file enough signatures to be put on the ballot for the primary. Currently his only recourse is through legal or procedural challenges.
If he is unable to win these challenges Democrats will have failed to put a candidate on the ballot for a seat that they traditionally hold. This would be an unanticipated pickup for the Republicans.

He can run as a write-in, but there will be two other Democrats who are actually on the ballot.
Or, he could run as an independent, but if he can't handle 50 signatures then I doubt he can handle 1,000. Plus, it would be a three-way general splitting the liberal vote.
