A federal judge has denied a request by independent U.S. Senate hopeful Laurie Dobson to halt the printing of November’s ballots, the Portland Press Herald is reporting.

Dobson claimed she was unfairly kept off the ballot because municipal clerks didn’t get her signatures approved by the Secretary of State’s deadline.

"There is no constitutional right to procrastination," U.S. District Court Judge John Woodcock wrote in his opinion, according to the Press Herald.

The other independent candidate hoping to run, Herb Hoffman, was taken off the ballot after the Maine Democratic Party successfully challenged enough of his nominating signatures.

This leaves incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-Bangor) and U.S. Rep. Tom Allen (D-Portland) running with no third-party candidates.
