In the state of Maine, the deadline for candidates for president to turn in a sufficient number of signatures to be on the March 5, 2024 Primary Election ballot was 5 p.m. on Friday. The candidates needed 2,000 valid voter signatures to appear on the ballot. According to the Secretary of State, candidate Chris Christie did not make the cut.
Dec. 2 (UPI) — Former New Jersey governor and Republican presidential hopeful Chris Christie will not be on the Maine primary election ballot after failing to obtain the required number of in-state petition signatures.
In order to be on the ballot for Maine’s March 5, 2024, primary election, candidates must have 2,000 in-state signatures, but state officials said Saturday he didn’t make the cut.
“The deadline for candidates for president to turn in a sufficient number of signatures to be on the March 5, 2024, primary election ballot was 5 p.m. today,” Maine’s Secretary of State said in a press release.
Christie only received 844 signatures, Maine Director of Elections Heidi Peckham told CBS News. (link)
Hahaha! You just made my night! Crispy is creamed!
There has to be some monetary inducement for Christie to remain as a candidate. We all know that. The question is who is paying that inducement and what all it entails? Is he being paid from the left or the right—or both? Is it a book deal? A future lobbying position? A new vacation home on the beach (complete with ++++ sized beach chair)?
He’s binge-eating right now, to get over the butthurt.
Snort~

Now hopefully Christie the Hutt won’t qualify for the rest of the primaries!
Who are Ryan and Doug?
Looks like he’s farting toward the fellow on the left.
I worked as an election clerk on election day in Maine.
In the hallway entrance, someone had clipboards with petitions for each of the Republican candidates to get on the ballot.
The worker told me they were all over the state. Voter turnout was somewhat higher than normal for an off year election. Only registered Republicans were suppose to sign the petition(s) for the candidate(s).
Even Doug got enough signatures.
Jersey Lizzo has the sads.
Nobody likes him.
