2 Latino Independents Fight To Stay On November Ballot In Coveted 4th District Race
Independent candidates Mayra Macias and Byron Sigcho-Lopez are fighting to retain their November ballot status in the 4th Congressional District race after thousands of their petition signatures were challenged. Both candidates fell short of required signature thresholds and must verify disputed signatures by Wednesday. Critics argue the state’s objection process disproportionately disadvantages independent candidates compared to party-backed nominees.
