“6 weeks of canvassing netted me 400 signatures. Youre telling me that Newt couldnt round up 20k sigs in VA? Me and about 10 others depending on how we were spread out over the state could do it in a month.”
They underestimated the cupidity of the VA gop, and he obviously never ran as a third party candidate before. Third parties know what lengths states will go to to deny you a place on the ballot.
If they say 10,000 signatures, you’d better plan to get double that and check as many of them as you can yourself.
If he only collected 20+ percent, then he has only himself to blame.
