Constitution Party presidential candidate Virgil Goode said Tuesday he does not know why the Virginia State Board of Elections is asking for a probe into matters pertaining to his campaign.
State officials are keeping quiet on the investigation request.
The elections board on Monday voted unanimously to ask Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to probe “suspected petition fraud” on forms that the Constitution Party submitted in efforts to get Goode’s name on the ballot for the Nov. 6 presidential election.
In a phone interview, Goode said nobody from either the elections board or the attorney general’s office has contacted him, so he has “no idea” what is behind the board’s request for an investigation.
“I’d like to know” what is going on, he said.
Justin Riemer, deputy secretary for the state board of elections, said in an email that “we are not commenting on the investigation at this time.”
Riemer referred inquiries to the attorney general’s office. Brian Gottstein, Cuccinelli’s director of communications, could not be reached Tuesday afternoon.

Just like they kept Newt and Santorum off the ballot in VA too. ;)
I predict Goode will cost Mitt the election right there in Virginia. Obama will then be emporer for life. America......1776 - 2012 RIP.
That's because they are just a bunch of cheating, lieing, no good for nothing, no account, nasty Democrats who do not know how to be honest.
Hmm, another Mittbot who imagines he knows the right god ~ yeah, we got your god right here ~ and he’s the wrong one.
Actually none of the Mittbots can engage in a conversation ~ that might be your first problem. Frankly, we don’t want to talk about how great you think your little tin false god is. Hope you know that.
you vote for either or both ~ and a lot of Democrats know how to vote for both ~ you are dooming your country.
Virgil Goode could not get re-elected in his own district, but somehow that makes his running for PRESIDENT a good idea? ridiculous. I was happy to hear Mark Levin decrying the third party lunacy the other day.
Please take your facts elsewhere, you MittBot duty-head with the soul condemned to eternal hellfire for not voting Virg! Us here real conservatives don’t need “facts” when we have mirrors to remind us who’s the purest of them all.
real life Mitt-Haters sound so loony, half the time i can’t even tell when someone is attempting to parody them, because no matter how outrageous the parody it doesn’t even approximate their real rants. I do wonder how they deal with Mark Levin decrying them, though, since he can hardly be held up as a GOPe/Mittbot type.
Goode has a following in Virginia. If he gets on the ballot and gets enough votes to hand the state to Obama, that would be a disaster. There could be ACORN types trying to facilitate in their usual ways.
With one vote you can cast a ballot for
An ex-Democrat
An ex-Republican
AND a Constitution Party candidate.
It’s like a box of chocolates, you have no idea what you’ll get!
Why does this guy flipping around through all the parties make him the "solid conservative" in the race?

Why isn't the first take that this guy is just another perpetual politician?
Now that's gotta' take some deep obsesiveness or something.
Or his buddy Obama ~ he's actually signed up with some kind of commie party thing in Chicago while the Democrats were considering running him as one of them. Now that's just nuts.
You get some answers out of the big two I think the little guys in the race will turn out to be far more reasonable!
Now, about checking on Virgil's nominating petitions, I know little about the people who got them together but we do have a crowd in Virginia who think it's important to check them thoroughly UNLESS it's their candidate!
Don’t care. I’m still not voting for that liberal lying bottom feeder Romney.
You can have every last bit of the credit for him.
Well, I’m waiting for their explaination of the inexplicable also. The fact is that Goode is NOT a “solid conservative” but is merely an opportunist who apparently feels a NEED to be on the ballot.
“Hmm ~ not really a good question.....”
*******************************************************
This is known in the Obama camp as “evading the question” and they are quite praticed at it.
Virgil doesn't quite live there, but you ask questions like that around that part of the world you would be considered impolite ~
BTW, these are the guys who always look like they are "seething underneath" ~ otherwise, great folks, salt of the earth ~
precisely....but some people will take a pig in the poke
