We have had a plethora of petition challenges of candidates in next year's municipal contests, six in Bloomington.

That's four more than in all of the last seven years.

Obviously the main goal of such acts is to kick people off the ballot. But, short of that there can be other purposes. GLT's Charlie Schlenker talks with ISU Political Scientist Lane Crothers about what those might be.
