AHHHhhh I get it. He had over the 10,000 signatures and for the very first time machines check the addresses... All candidates but mitt, and Paul are on the ballot..
yep, all Newt’s fault..
Don’t believe everything you read on blogs. If you want to know the facts, I suggest waiting until after Christmas, for the RPV to put out a press release.
They counted the signatures, and went home for Christmas. A lot of people are making a lot of foolish speculation, none of which seems to be verifiable at this point.
The petitions all have a place for addresses, and I’ve heard over 2000 of the signatures Gingrich had gave no addresses. They are required.
Also, each petition page has to be signed by a registered voter, to affirm that they witnessed all the signatures, and I heard at least one petition collector didn’t qualify.
There was a simple way to avoid this — put in 15,000 signatures.
I think Gingrich expected the RPV to turn a blind eye to any irregularities in the signatures (I did, in fact, think so as well). Apparently they didn’t.
One of the volunteers who gave up their christmas to verify the signatures was KILLED in a car accident on the way home afterwards.
“yep, all Newt’s fault..”
Yes, that is right, it was all Newt’s fault. No conspiracy here, just a bad lack of organizational abilities, which has always been Newt’s achilles heel. Great on ideas, lousy on the mechanics of a campaign.
