Kasich Admits He Did Not File Enough Valid Signatures to Appear on Pennsylvania Ballot
Red State ^ | 3-10-2016 | Leon Wolf

A couple days ago we reported that team Kasich was facing a court challenge to their ballot access in Pennsylvania. Specifically, the plaintiff in the case alleged that Team Kasich failed to file the required 2,000 valid signatures to appear on the ballot in Pennsylvania. The Kasich campaign filed 2,184 signatures, but the plaintiff alleged that well over 184 of those signatures were invalid and/or fraudulent for a whole host of reasons.

He made some 5 -6 million this year. I am tired of politicians who produce zip making a million plus. They forget they work for us the first day in office.

Still, not bad for a governor

I think he will be out of the race by the time Pennsylvania votes.

Weird that if one is collecting signatures which are easily challenged that one wouldn’t collect two or three times as many just to forestall a challenge. We’re talking 2000 in a state of nearly 13 million. I know there must be some expense involved but the amount is trivial considering whats involved. What if this happened to Trump or Cruz? Someone with a legitimate chance?

2,000 signatures? Hell, I got that in an afternoon at the mall back in my foot soldier days of campaigning. Plus its SOP to try to knock your opponent(s) off the ballot through signature challenges.

All you have to do is hit the abuse button on your post and ask the mods to delete it. They’ve never turned me down yet.

You are right, imo. Kasich there just to get some delegates to keep them from Trump.

Well reading through it it also says:
Phil Kerpen, a conservative activist who'd been watching the case with a critical eye, quickly tweeted that Rome bungled it.

“Looks to me like Kasich’s botched petition might stand because the Rubio supporter who challenged it botched the challenge.

— Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) March 10, 2016”

So this tracks with what I checked today, and Kasich IS officially on the ballot.
