Miyagishima and his VP, J.C. Lopez, plan to sue, claiming the system is rigged. The Forward Party also suffered losses, with Senate candidate Bob Perls preparing legal action over the tight signature deadline, arguing the rules are stacked against smaller parties. But not all was lost: two Forward candidates, Harry Montoya and Dennis Dinge, successfully qualified for ballot access, seeing ballot placement as a victory—and a stepping stone to future legal challenges.
