Onyx, we just had a general election in VA last month. Because of redistricting, new voter cards were mailed out in October to every registered voter. The database is probably as good as one will ever get. (i.e., I moved since the last presidential election and got my voter card at the new address).
As much as I’d like to see error here, I fear it’s not likely. And I doubt this is the first time names/addresses were cross-checked (never trust an ‘unnamed source’). I’ll wait to hear from someone who was there both in ‘08 and yesterday.
In ‘08, McCain/Romney/Paul/Thompson/Huckabee/Giuliani all managed to get on the VA GOP primary ballot under the same qualifying rules. Something is terribly askew with the Perry and Gingrich campaigns, at least in VA. Better to find out now that they need to up their ground game than when/if becoming THE nominee. I prefer to look at this as a very serious wake up call. Dems got us in ‘08, we do NOT need a repeat.
I hope you will hear from someone who was there in '08 and present yesterday.
It's a mess and the timing is awful: Christmas.
Good that Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are today and Sunday, so that come Monday, we will know more.
