The guy with the lawsuit isn't concerned with the numeric standards ~ his concern was with validation processes, and simply raising the number doesn't really address that question.
It did the address the issue of Romney probably not having 10,000 valid names and addresses.
Okay, then what you seem to be saying is that the Republican party leadership only wanted Romney and Paul on the ballot, and they were willing to do just about anything to make that happen. Do you really believe that?
