Gingrich camp assails Virginia's "failed system"


The campaign of Newt Gingrich assailed a "failed system" for his failure
to make it onto the ballot for the Virginia Republican primary.

The state GOP announced early Saturday morning that Gingrich's campaign
had failed to submit the required number of signatures to qualify for
the March 6 primary. On Friday it was announced that Texas Gov. Rick
Perry had also failed to qualify.

Gingrich, Perry fail to make Va. Ballot

The state's election board requires candidates petitioning for inclusion
in the primary to file 10,000 signatures from registered voters,
including 400 from each of Virginia's 11 congressional districts.

It was reported Thursday that Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, former
Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman were
also off the ballot. So far, only former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney and
Texas Congressman Ron Paul are officially on the primary ballot.

On Saturday Newt 2012 released the following statement from Campaign
Director Michael Krull:

"Only a failed system excludes four out of the six major candidates
seeking access to the ballot. Voters deserve the right to vote for any
top contender, especially leading candidates. We will work with the
Republican Party of Virginia to pursue an aggressive write-in campaign
to make sure that all the voters of Virginia are able to vote for the
candidate of their choice."

They will have to get VERY aggressive: Under Virginia law (§ 24.2-529),
write-in votes are not allowed on ballots in primary elections.


And you talk about others being full of hate?
