Whoever in Virginia came up with this hurdle to get on a ballot may have had good intentions, but it’s a heavily flawed system that needs to be changed. If 5 out of 7 candidates failed to qualify, that’s evidence enough that it’s not workable. Does the RPV want Obama to be re-elected? Does the RPV not want its residents to have a clear choice in its Republican primary? Does the RPV only want the candidates with the most funds to prevail? Because that’s the way its system is designed.
