Candidate for Mayor Kevin Acklin's Campaign Discusses Challenge To Franco "Dok" Harris's Nomination Petition

Acklin for Pittsburgh Field Director Matt Merriman-Preston said that although there are many discrepancies in the petition, he does not expect Harris to be taken off the ballot. Merriman-Preston said that some of the discrepancies involved signatures by people who are not registered to vote, signatures by people not registered to vote in the city, and petitions circulated by someone not registered to vote in the city.

Merriman-Preston added that he feels the Acklin campaign is challenging the notion that the Mayor cannot be beaten by campaigning all over the city and reaching out to many of the city's voters.
