MacRae’s Upper Cape election case headed for hearing

Former state Senate candidate Kari MacRae has been granted a court date in her September Republican primary trial.

MacRae is suing election officials in six towns — Bourne, Falmouth, Mashpee, Plymouth, Plympton and Sandwich — alleging they failed to verify signatures on early votes.

She originally filed in Superior Court in Barnstable and Plymouth counties, where the towns are located, but has since filed in Suffolk Superior Court and named Gov. Maura Healey as a defendant.

A document provided by MacRae shows she has a Nov. 13 hearing in Boston on her request for a preliminary injunction. Court records available online show a Nov. 12 hearing has been rescheduled, but do not indicate a new date.

The motion aims to blocks certification of election results during its process go ahead

MacRae says the case is about complying with election law and making sure cities have the resources to do so.

She lost the Republican primary for the Plymouth and Barnstable district to Mathew Muratore. Democrat Dylan Fernandes defeated Muratore in the Nov. 5 general election.
