Lindstrom Drops Governor Race Over Fake Signatures | Omaha News

Brett Lindstrom, Nebraska’s nonpartisan gubernatorial hopeful, has dropped out after authorities invalidated over a third of his 5,700 petition signatures—falling short of the 4,000 needed to qualify. The fraud exposed three arrests earlier this month, sparking outrage as Lindstrom called the political climate “extreme and weaponized,” vowing not to play a loyalty game.

Though officially off the ballot, he’s mulling a write-in bid and hasn’t ruled out future political action. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
