Postbulletin.com: Last week, Fillmore County Auditor and Treasurer Shirl Boelter sent a letter to all of the candidates saying that she had determined that Hein had failed to get the 500 voter signatures required to file for office. State law requires that non-major party candidates gather the signatures since independent candidates are not subject to the primary election. But Boelter said all of the general election ballots had already been printed in Fillmore and Houston counties and she did not believe she had the authority to take Hein's name off the ballot. Hein said he did not know about the requirement when he filed for office.
