The state rules didn't change. You need 10,000 valid registrered voters on the approved form with at least 400 coming from each of the 11 Congressional districts. No matter what Mullins or Bolling said or did in processing them, if Perry and Newt met the state rules, they would be on the ballot.

Huntsman, Santorum, and Bachmann didn't even bother to collect signatures. Newt tried to do it frantically at the last minute by holding rallies a few days before the deadline in Arlington and Richmond to collect signatures. He was disorganized and had no real grassroots operation in VA, the state he has been a resident of for the past 10 years.

Rules entertained per the authority of the state ~ which those verification rules certainly were ~ ARE PART OF THE LAW, just like a FORM is part of the law, or a judge's order.

The party changed the verification process they'd used since the beginning of time ~ per the authority of the state to allow them to do that. At the same time they excepted Mitt from their new standard.

It's corruption per se and a violation of the law.

No independent authority has validated Mitt Romney's signatures on the nominating petitions.

Without proof that they are true, they are manifestly fraudulent.
