My reading says Perry and Gingrich both got more than 10,000 signatures. The issue was did they have enough in each district, was the address right for the district, and did signatures get tossed over the address? ----------------- Over 2000 names were thrown out by the VA GOP. For the first time ever if the address provided did not match the name it was tossed. Paul and Romney’s signatures were not scrutinized in the same manner. ..... prior to the 2012 elections it was Republican party policy in Virginia to simply deem any candidate that brought in ten thousand raw signatures as having met the primary ballot requirements under Virginian state election law. ..... the VA GOP decided in response to bump up from 10K to 15K the threshold for simply deeming the requirements as being met. (That was the change in November 2011.) Message 27845246 Also, VA is redistricting, there's a lawsuit over district boundaries that won't be settled till sometime in 2012. Some people likely don't know what district they're in now.
