What I read yesterday was that it wasn’t the validity of the signatures it was the fact that they didn’t have enough. Newt was 2000 short.

You are absolutely wrong! You see? This is how the press is handling this. That is a bald faced lie that has twisted your view of this.

Newt AND Perry collected over 11,000 signatures each.
The “counters” threw out 2,000 signatures because the addresses provided, were valid, but did not exactly match the way they were listed with state registry. (The way insignificant words were spelled, like; “1st St.” and “First Street”.

But even worse, this is the first time this kind of stupidity has even mattered..........(Coincidence?)

The deal was you needed 10,000. However if you collected 15,000 they didn't check any of them. He was short the number needed to avoid having them checked.

Obviously the system is designed to encourage forgery and corrupt practices. An honest delegate doesn't have a chance.
