Chris Christie Excluded from Maine’s GOP Primary Ballot for 2024 Election, Fails to Meet Requirements
Chris Christie, former Republican Governor of New Jersey and a GOP Presidential candidate, has encountered a significant setback in his 2024 presidential campaign.
Christie will not be listed on the Maine primary election ballot due to his failure to secure the required number of in-state petition signatures, UPI reported.
To qualify for the ballot in Maine’s March 5, 2024, primary election, a candidate must gather 2,000 verified in-state signatures. However, state officials announced on Saturday that Christie’s campaign fell short of this threshold.
“The deadline for presidential candidates to submit the necessary signatures for the March 5, 2024 Primary Election ballot was at 5 p.m. on [Friday], according to Maine’s Secretary of States website.
