I called in on Monday the 13th to see if I was on the ballot. They told me I was. The ballot lottery was later that day and I was told, by the other newbie first time runner for committeeperson that I was third out of four on the ballot.
I called this morning to double check. I called to see if I was still on the ballot. Before I could tell the lady who answered the phone my name, ward and division, she informed me that she couldn't tell me whether I was on the ballot or not. I asked why and she replied that the ballots were in court and she couldn't tell me the results until they got back to the Board of Elections office later on in the week.
On the petition I handed in, included were my full name, home address, my home phone number and my cell phone. I have not been notified that my petition has been / is being challenged. But I wouldn't put it passed them to claim it got lost in the mail or something.
Something really fishy is going on. It fucking stinks. It reeks.
Theories continue to swirl in my crazy head.
what the crap is all this scandalous stuff!? i really hope you haven't been secretly bumped off the ballot. that's just outrageous.

it's easy to get paranoid, with all the weirdness going on in election maneouvering, but I honestly think that they've just decided not to give any information until all the challenges have been settled. if you were being challenged, you should know (already, I think) by mail; beyond that, it's probably just three people in a small office, and they don't want to misspeak before all the lawyer stuff is complete...
