Two Iowa Republicans challenged Finkenauer's signatures after she submitted her paperwork to the secretary of state's office in March. They alleged that she had failed to obtain at least 100 eligible signatures from at least 19 counties in Iowa.
Iowa Democratic Senate candidate Abby Finkenauer announced Monday that she will appeal a judge's decision that she did not have enough signatures to qualify for the primary ballot.

The Iowa secretary of state's office initially accepted Finkenauer's signatures when they were submitted. Beattie's decision to reverse the state panel's ruling put Finkenauer below the 100 signatures that she would need from those counties in order to qualify for the ballot.
Finkenauer blasted Beattie's decision, calling it"deeply partisan," and said that she plans to appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court.
