Indian-American Disqualified From Congressional Poll
"There was never evidence to support the ridiculous claim and it was dismissed yesterday by the judge who examined it," Khanna campaign manager Leah Cowan said.
"It's obvious that the defenders of the status quo feel threatened by the momentum behind Ro's change campaign and now they've resorted to old-style political attacks and dirty tricks," he said.
Khanna has been in the race for about a year, but Republican Vanila Singh entered the fight at the start of this year and Rathore and Joel Vanlandingham this month.
Jeffrey Wald of Fremont, an Alameda County Republican Central Committee member, had sued the voter registrars in Alameda and Santa Clara counties as well as the Secretary of State's Office, arguing that Rathore and Vanlandingham should be kicked off the ballot.
"Khanna recruited candidates to enter the race as Republicans to split the Republican vote three ways, effectively diluting votes that would otherwise be cast in favor of (Vanila) Singh," the suit claimed.
The race in the 17th congressional district has attracted much attention as Khanna, a former Obama administration official who lives in Fremont, challenges seven-term incumbent Mike Honda to represent the first majority Asian-American district in the continental 48 states — and the heart of Silicon Valley.
