“AP Exclusive: Complaint seeks to remove Starrett from Ore. ballot”

AP offers this report, which begins: “A prominent Republican lawyer filed a state elections complaint late Friday seeking to knock third-party gubernatorial contender Mary Starrett off the Nov. 7 ballot on grounds that her nomination process was legally flawed. Starrett, a former TV talk show host and anti-abortion activist, is slated to appear on the fall ballot as the Constitution Party’s nominee. Some Republicans fear that Starrett will play a spoiler’s role this fall, taking votes away from GOP nominee Ron Saxton and tipping the race to incumbent Democratic Gov. Ted Kulongoski.”
