I agree that 10,000 petitions is reasonable, but how many were thrown out? “Disqualified”? Did Gingrich offer any numbers?

Over 2,000 signatures were thrown out for Gingrich alone. They used a computer to compare addresses, and not just verify signatures like they always have done in the past. Gingrich presented over 11,000 signatures and met the requirements.

If an address went as follows; “John Doe, 1024 1st St.” and was written on the petition as; “John Doe, 1024 First Street.”, it was thrown out.

Again, this has never been done before. Not to mention that the Lt. Governor of Virginia, is on Romney's campaign staff. Romney had help in getting the ridiculous 15,000 signatures. To do so, takes lots of help and money, as well as time.

No wonder that out of the six candidates, only 2 qualified. Virginia has taken their Primary voting regulations to preposterous levels. And this recent fiasco reeks of election tampering to help Romney take it.
