Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s campaign said on Tuesday that it is filing a lawsuit to get on the ballot in the Virginia primary election after state officials announced last week that he failed to turn in the requisite 10,000 signatures.
“Virginia ballot access rules are among the most onerous and are particularly problematic in a multicandidate election,” said Perry campaign Communications Director Ray Sullivan in a statement. “We believe that the Virginia provisions unconstitutionally restrict the rights of candidates and voters by severely restricting access to the ballot, and we hope to have those provisions overturned or modified to provide greater ballot access to Virginia voters and the candidates seeking to earn their support.” .......................
Virginia thinks they are punishing the various campaigns for not following their rules but in fact they are punishing their constituents who are not allowed a choice in the our Virginia primary.
They should change the rules for Virginians’ sake not for the candidates. Their rules only hurt Vrginians.
