Is this a state law issure or a state party (GOP) issue?

[mrsmith]

State law. The law requires 10,000 signatures from registered voters and they didn’t get them.

People are confused because the Party does the verifying and counting.

[muawiyah]

Both. The law is unsatisfactory for protecting the Republican brand and at the same time it is easily manipulated by a small group of insiders to prevent Conservatives from running as Republicans.

The party has certain responsibilities and they really dropped the ball.

We probably need a new law and some new party leadership no matter what the outcome here.
