Another page goes in order from Durislcr to another trom Upland to Walnut, Broadway lo Liberty.

The alphabetical order, Maltar noted, probably indicates the names were taken from voter lists. Mailer added that three campaign worker's for his slale found their names listed on the papers of the candidates being challenged "There is a pattern of fraud and a concerted effort to attempt to put people in ihe primary for purposes of harassment" Mattar claimed. "If what we're going to do is expose fraud and corruption then Ihis is a good place to start." Matlar added he would likr ihe whole situation investigated by both Ihe. attorney general and the district attorney.
