The League of Women Voters cancelled a face-off featuring County Superintendent of Schools Susan Salcido and rival Christy Lozano on the eve of the event Wednesday, after the challenger objected to the group’s rules for its election forums.

“Unless both candidates agree to these terms, the League cannot hold the Forum, according to the League’s policies,” the nonpartisan organization stated on its web site and social media. “Please be assured that all candidates who participate in our Forums are required to abide by the same policies and procedures.”
