Even if you are correct (which I will concede only for the sake of argument), the article clearly states that McClintock failed to place evidence before the judge showing that he had made a timely refiling.

I repeat: Ever since Florida, we've been the ones insisting that elections be run by the letter of the rules. When there weren't enough precinct workers in St. Louis and the Dems wanted the polling hours extended, we hollored fraud -- and were right to do so. So it sounds more than a little odd to hear a Republican crying about "technicalities". It is also extremely bizarre for a candidate who is running as an experienced professional screw up this way.

"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."

Just from the above the secretary of state's office acted improperly by refusing to accept his ammended form.

The "mixup" is undefined as to who was responsible for it. If it was delivered to the court as requested but the court's staff failed to get it to the judge then how is that McClintock's fault?
