Shaman sidelined: Chansley among more than 70 to miss signature threshold

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Jacob Angeli-Chansley, better known as the “Qanon Shaman,” will not be going back to Washington – at least not in any official capacity.
Angeli-Chansley was one of more than 70 would-be candidates for federal office who failed to meet the April 1 deadline to turn in petition signatures to the secretary of state’s office that were needed to get their names on the ballot.
While that narrowed the field, it still left dozens of candidates who will compete in this fall’s primary and general elections – some of which are already shaping up to be bitter, high-profile bloodbaths.
The largest winnowing was in the race to replace Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Arizona, who took herself out of the running in early March when she said she would not seek reelection. Of the 30 candidates who filed a statement of interest for the seat with the secretary of state’s office, just six remain after the petition deadline.
