That’s the critical question today. As of this morning, Thompson’s campaign had 3,509 certified signatures to qualify for the ballot out of the 4,500 needed. The campaign must have 500 certified in each congressional district according to Leslie Barnes fo the Indiana Election Division. Three counties - Clark, Knox and Vanderburgh - do not report electronically. The deadline is noon Feb. 19, complicated by the fact that Monday is President’s Day. As of this morning, Thompson had 382 in the 2nd CD, 148 in the 4th CD, 260 in the 5th, 354 in the 7th CD, 237 in the 8th, and 417 in the 9th. Schellinger has 5,073 signatures certified. The 4th and 5th CDs are hard districts for Democrats to get signatures in. Schellinger has only 386 certified signatures in the 3rd CD and 288 in the 8th CD (though that includes non-reporting Vanderburgh County). Primary Status: TOSSUP, General Status: Leans Daniels
