Aha. Now we are learning something. The address check was done by computer. For the first time. The result: *ALL* candidates who applied for certification were rejected (Romney and Ron Paul were grandfathered in from 2008).

It’s a process problem. Could be due to an overly-strict address match algorithm. For example if your actual street address is “1234 N Main St” but you wrote down “1234 Main” you got rejected.

Is this legit info?

If so, it appears none actually qualified, which reflects on the procedural weakness, not the ineffective signature gathering attempts of all the candidates.

Computer database will reject even the smallest error. Right.

That is what I have also thought about. It could in the end be the case.
