I say is BS. Note that its “someone said” not “the Election Commission ruled”. Sounds more like some Mitt “insider” is spoutin off late on a Friday when there will be no official correct until Monday.
Friday night news bomb.
THe RPV sent a media advisory, so I believe it is correct that Perry is out. I haven’t seen the official explanation, just that they did not verify the required 10,000 signatures.
Could be they missed some sheets, or miscounted when they turned them in. The initial counts were provided by the submittals I believe, not an actual cursory count. So the campaign could have messed up.
What i hope we don’t learn is that there’s a folder somewhere in one of the volunteer’s car with the last 1000 signatures. That would suck (well, I suppose if it were just that, the RPV would probably vote to let them in — the legal reporting date isn’t until tuesday).
