Brief says the Supreme Court ruled in ‘Buckley’ that it’s unconstitutional to require petition-gatherers be state voters, or even residents.

I guess that provides an ‘out’ for the RPV.

(And Perry didn’t formally declare until Oct 31! Good grief!)

If this is true - he might have a case, but it smacks to much of Bush V Gore! Katherine Harris followed the law, and the state got sued. I don’t like it when Politicians work the courts when they don’t get their way due mostly to their own failings in not meeting the letter of the law.
