OMAHA— Longtime state Senator Ernie Chambers, who will soon be leaving the Unicameral due to term limits, will not be appearing on the upcoming ballot for a spot on the Douglas County Board. A petition drive to get him on the ballot was turned in to the Douglas County Election Commission on Monday.

According to the Commission, Chambers needed 2,000 signatures and received 2,499 but 845 of those were rejected, which means less than 2000 signatures were validated. Signatures were rejected due to the signers not being registered in the proper board district, or not being registered to vote in Douglas County.
