>>>> The clown not only filled out the paperwork incorrectly, he did not file the amended form on time.

"When McClintock discovered the consequences of his choice, he amended his form and refiled it one day before the Aug. 9 deadline. But the secretary of state's office refused to accept it, contending the rules prohibit amendments, although this is not indicated anywhere on the form."

The article also says there is no provision in the law allowing for amended filings, and that when he went to court challenging that, he failed to provide the court with documentation that he had made an amended, timely filing.

OK, maybe he did file on time? But, why would go to court totally unprepared? Hmmm... I got it, "Let's go to court, but not bring any evidence. We hate to confuse the court with facts."

I am still concern about his disillusion of grandeur in checking that box.

The 3rd District Court of Appeals ruled Thursday McClintock had the right to amend his form, but it did not see evidence the document was turned in on time. Due to a mixup, the court did not receive a faxed copy of McClintock's form, which shows he submitted it to the secretary of state's office before the deadline.

You file a lawsuit, it's up to you to bring your evidence to court. Nobody else -- least of all the judge -- is going to do it for you.
