Second Disqualification: Newt Gingrich Fails to Make the Va. Ballot

Second Disqualification: Newt Gingrich Fails to Make the Va. Ballot

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has failed to qualify for Virginia’s March 6 Republican primary, according to an announcement on a state Republican website early Saturday. The development adds to the challenges faced by the recent frontrunner in the GOP presidential race.

“After verification, RPV has determined that Newt Gingrich did not submit required 10k signatures and has not qualified for the VA primary,” the Republican Party of Virginia announced on its Twitter website.

Including Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX), this is the second disqualification from the Va. ballot. Jon Huntsman Jr., Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), did not submit signatures in Virginia and therefore did not qualify, reports the New York Times.

This means that only Va. ballot choices left are former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Rep. Ron Paul.

State GOP spokesman Garren Shipley said volunteers spent Friday validating petitions that the four candidates submitted by the Thursday 5 p.m. deadline to the State Board of Elections. Shipley was not available early Saturday to discuss the announcement posted on the website.

Failing to get on the ballot would be a major setback for Gingrich, who has tried to use his recent upsurge in popularity to make up for a late organizing start.

Gingrich had to leave New Hampshire on Wednesday and race to Virginia, where he needs 10,000 valid voters’ signatures by Thursday to secure a spot on the March 6 ballot.

He said Wednesday he had enough ballot signatures, but he wanted to come to Virginia to deliver them personally. Taking no chances, his volunteers asked everyone to sign petitions before entering Gingrich’s rally Wednesday night in Arlington, just across the Potomac River from Washington.

Gingrich’s early-December rise in several polls gave him renewed hopes of carrying his campaign deep into the primary season. Failure to compete in Virginia, which is among the “Super Tuesday” primaries, would deal a huge blow to any contender who had not locked up the nomination by then.

The state Republican Party’s Shipley said the party was validating petitions the candidates submitted by the Thursday 5 p.m. deadline to the state elections board. It began validating signatures Friday morning.

The 10,000 registered voters must also include 400 signatures from each of Virginia’s 11 congressional districts.

Meanwhile, Virginia‘s Democrats said President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign gathered enough signatures to get him on the state’s primary ballot though he was the only candidate who qualified.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

UPDATE: Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich responded with authority to the news that his name would not appear on the Virginia Republican presidential primary ballot.

The Gingrich campaign says Virginia has a “failed system.”

Campaign director Michael Krull issued a statement late Saturday saying people deserve to vote for any contender — especially leading candidates.

The campaign says Gingrich will pursue an aggressive write-in campaign to appear on Virginia’s ballot.

UPDATE II:

As Reuters points out, Virginia state law doesn’t allow write-in candidates in primary elections.

      That’s just not true. A lot of people don’t want to see Iran get a Nuke. Ron Paul has stated he is not opposed to Iran getting a Nuke. I have heard him make other equally freightening statements that make me cringe. I fear for the national security of America if Ron Paul should be elected, therefore he is not a viable Republican presidential contender and should certainly not be on any Republican ballot. If Ron Paul winds up being the Republican presidential candidate, I will NOT vote for him, and WILL WRITE IN another name – A REAL REPUBLICAN.

      @Ray2447 – alot of countries with bad guys leading them have nukes. It is not our place in the world to control who has them. We are not the global police – our constitution forbids that.

      So what if Iran gets the bomb – they are not within months of having it like Bachmann lied about during the debates – Ron Paul called her on it and The Blaze had to (begrudgingly) report Bachmann’s whoppers. lol!

      Don’t buy into the fear mongering / war mongering of the neo con/progressive establishment. They want us entangled in these foreign wars and our freedoms restricted through Patriot act, VIPR, NDAA, TSA etc.., how’s that path working out for us?? Not too well is it?

      I find this indicative of Gingrich, a testament to his personal history as well as the political endeavors of the 80‘s and 90’s. His actions are paramount of dismissive association to adapt a practice for higher professionalism in management skill. This is perhaps an issue that could be an identifiable trait for his inability to comprehend the consequences of his actions in how each affect in long-term. Same for Perry,…Bachman and Santor, Huntsman…they see it; if they cannot get out of Iowa it may be needless to continue.
      Nevertheless, the issues which will effect the nation for postive or contuned negative is 1) the economy and 2) THE SOUTHERN BORDER.

      I am impressed that each Romney and Paul will do what is necessary to close the border, penalize business who hire illegals.
      Each seem as they will be competant to secure worthy cabinets to delegate authority.
      Romney will be the most significant opportunity for the US to fiscally manage,… and if Romney doesn’t secure the Presidency he who does succeed needs to place Romney into a fiscal management Cabinet position.
      I see the overwhelming difference here is Paul wishing to practice US separatism in regards to his foreign policy. Seeking to pacify hostile regimes only leads to war. As all youngest children learn, big brother never wishes to fight little brother if little brother is holding the baseball bat.

      In a perfect word, Paul’ s foreign policy would be admirable…but in reality it is unrealistic.

      As far as Iran goes, what the heck are we doing now (or what will any of the other Republican candidates do) that will prevent Iran from getting a nuke? Sanctions? Uhhhh, okay. The only way we can prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon is through military action. Is that what you people really want?

      Ray2447: Lie some more, why don’t you? Ron Paul says he’s okay with Iran getting a nuke? I do believe he‘s said that he DOESN’T WANT THEM TO HAVE A NUKE. But it is NOT OUR JOB TO START A WAR TO STOP THEM FROM GETTING ONE.

      Let me ask you this: Are you for defending the United States, or Pakistan? Are you for defending the United States, or Zimbabwe? Are you for defending the United States, or Russia? See if there is a theme here to your answers.

      Ask yourself, DOES ISRAEL actually need our help? When we give them say, 3 billion a year, and all of their neighbors get 3-7 times as much money FROM US.

      How is it that we’re helping Israel, when we are giving 3-7 times the money to the people they are having problems with? Doesn’t that seem like maybe, just maybe, we’re making it worse for them, by giving their enemies the money to prepare for a war? (While we pretend they’re using it to pay garbage men.)

      In 1967, Israel was ambushed on all sides, by 5 nations, and beat them. Not just beat them, they beat them back and TOOK LAND.

      Does that sound like a nation that is unable to take care of it’s own?

      And those rockets that get fired into Israel. Has anything we’ve done helped to prevent that? No?

      If your neighbor declares to another neighbor that he’s going to do something terrible to you, maybe kill you, and you run down the street and kill him first, who goes to jail?

      There is something seriously wrong with the Virginia system! When only two of the seven candiates is able to participate in the primary there, it is clear there are big issues there. Add on the fact that VA prohibits write-ins for primaries and it becomes a downright shame. Heck, if Ron Paul did not have his merry little band of fanatics running around the state, Romney would have been the sole candidate on the ballot?

      Although I am already certain the National Republican Comittee is in the tank for Romney, they should at the very least step up and tell VA to either allow write ins, or face a serious reduction in delegates! Simply no reason to allow technicalities in a single state to influence the entire primary process.

Because the people/establishment who support Romney are 1. likely keeping the others off of the ballot or 2. the others are acting like there is a choice to split up the Ron Paul and what was the Herman Cain vote making this whole thing a sham and Ron Paul the only choice or 3. the others are amazingly incompetent; hard to believe since Gingrich could likely school the best of the best in the rules of egagement here and he lives in VA.

      This shows the lack of leadership and support Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry obtain. If a campaign cannot muster the support to gain the 10k signatures needed they shouldn’t complain or blame someone else. Rick and Newt are running to challenge Mitt as the pick for the establishment. All 3 are pretty much the same and a lot like Obama, progressive.

      Bachmann, Santorum, and Huntsman didn’t even try as they knew they could not obtain 10k supporters which shows more than likely they will drop out after Iowa. 

      The race is down to Mitt Romney vs Ron Paul. Mitt Romney is the establishment progressive candidate while Ron Paul is the People’s anti-Progressive establishment candidate (TEA). 

      The line has been drawn and I hope you consider supporting Ron Paul to help restore our country. Ron Paul is the #1 pick to restore the economy.  Instead of listening to all the dis-information about Ron Paul I encourage you to visit Ronpaul2012.com to see his views yourself.

      I am highly confident neither Paul or Romney will seek to supercede their mandate of authority as Obama. These two men have demonstrated they’re agenda is not contrary to our Constitution….Each present suspicion… but it does seem as it is coming down to these two. Examine their ability to respond with solutions to the issues. Study their background without emotion so we can make a logical and reasonable decision void of media influence. The media of course wishes Obama and they will not go easy on either of these gentleman. The GOP didn’t wish for EITHER Paul or ROMNEY. Romney is outside the Washington and Paul is without a network and DC and he has been notorious for that. I think we got what WE – THE TEA and CONSERVATIVE Americawished for along along.

      Well if the choices are Romney or Paul come Ohio time, I will not vote for obama lite. I HAVE balanced my home budget. I HAVE dealt with my property borders. I EXPECT the Fed to do the same. Of those still standing ONE has clearly stated how to deal with the above. I believe it is pretty simple; fix these things or there will be another civil war or collapse of our country.

      To do what has always been done globally and expect different results is insanity. obama is just a much stronger flavor of the progressive policies since Reagan. I have intently read/listened to what Paul has to say, not the sound bytes. I have watched/listened/read , with all of you, the orchestrated bull-crap Washington has done on the world stage. I am sick of it. We have a CONSTITUTION. It is the BIBLE for the government. Turn your back on GOD what happens? ( for you agnostics & atheists Good Orderly Direction–G.O.D.)

I could care less either way what they decide on the drug part, but lets be honest here….there is so much violence in the drug world because it is illegal, not because of the drugs themselves…..people are risking their freedom to sell it, so yes any measure will be taken to not get busted….will it get rid of all the drug violence??…not a chance, but it would cut it in half atleast….Look at all the violence over alcohol during prohibition…it was because it was illegal, and people were forced to sell it underground.

      And for the Bible preachers (I love and respect the Bible btw) Why did God put the tree INSIDE the Garden of Eden, when he could have just put it outside the Garden??? ….Because it is up to the individual, to do the right thing, not authority to force them…..And there is no bigger authority than God.

He is for limited federal government, the only way to be actually free, and the states making those type of decisions. This way, if you do not like the laws of one state, you can live in another where the laws are more to your liking. Freedom. It seems to me that many Americans are so lazy, they are afraid of the responsibility that comes with true freedom.

      Oh yeah! The audience erupts into applause. He rises in the polls.

      He wins almost every debate, when fair polling is done and NOT DELETED by our “fair and balanced” media.

That is why EVERY canidate that has been pushed to the front was just imagination not reality. Newt was pushed to the front which shocked even him, the reason why was rove and the old gaurd figured if they could keep two progressives in front it would choke out everyone else, than they would systematically destroy newt, while walking romney( THEIR chosen lackey) romneycon in to the WH. The plan was going well until WE THE PEOPLE went around their progressive owned msm to pick who WE WANT! That is why they went from complete blackout of Ron Paul to now demonizing him as a racist ( which is absurd based on facts) and trying to knock him down in the msm while praising Romneycon….this looks to me like we are winning and as I speak they are plotting their next attack.

This is a huge situation here if true. things are happening fast and being revealed due to the internet and cable news. Problem is I do not think either one is ideal. This is going to take some soul searching. Of course they are all POS politicians.
      We either have to deal with possible nightmare foreign policy of Ron Paul or completion of the melt down of the only free Constitutional Republic in the world due to Romney being a progressive and wanting to work the wheels of big government better. I think I will take the possible nightmare foreign policy.

      If you agree 100% with anyone, I would think your not thinking . That’s what is so great about our Constitution. Nothing is up to one person, debating and gridlock it as American as Apple Pie. When we follow the Constitution, we are at our strongest.

      Do not celebrate yet. Something is obviously not right about the situation and Newt has been in the game far too long for this to have happened.

    As much as I dislike Newt, I don’t think it would have been impossible for him to gather the signatures in Virgina. I’m going to have to agree with him when he says they have a failed system–or maybe they are just liars. I mean there doesn’t seem to be any type of appeals process right? They can just say NOPE you didn’t qaulify. Sounds shady to me. Sorry Paul bots who think this is a good thing for you, Romney will will this primary but it will be a shallow victory.

      I could gather 10,000 signatures by giving out donuts, Newt has no support outside of the crony corporations that have been maintaining him for years for their chance to get “ reimbursed” at tax payer expense, No matter how you look at this it is good for Ron Paul, There will be many people that leave newtie because who wants to vote for someone that can’t even make their name in every state! Most people want a sure winner to vote on because they have been manipulated into believing that their vote is wasted to vote on principals and morals. Alot of those that will leave newtie will not go to greasy romneycon they will come over to Ron Paul!

    First it was Rick Perry that failed to reach the Virginia ballot. Now it‘s Newt Gingrich that’s having bad luck. It seems that the GOP establishment is starting to break.

      Or, it could be that Satan already has a bevy of “potential leaders” standing right in front of him and that he’s trying to prevent a certain candidate that wants to topple the status quo from having a fair chance at winning the race.

      I hate to break it to you, but both Dr Paul and Mitt Romney BOTH believe that Jesus is our savior. Try again buddy, Romney, though I don’t support him, is a Mormon, a member of the Church of Jesus christ of Latter Day Saints. His father was an Apostle within the church. They obviously believe that Jesus is our Savior. I admit, I do not know much about Dr Paul’s religious life, but I DO know he believes in Jesus

      Nothing fishy in Va. I have run for office and had to get registered voter signatures. You have to have a required number depending on the election (Local ones 150, National 10,000 (with at least 400 from each Cong. district) . I have also seen people in local elections not qualify for now having the required number of registered voters. I have also seen how our Voter Registrar’s check the signatures. They compare petitions to the voter data base and the name and ADDRESS have to match the data base. It is simple. All one has to do is follow the rules. By the way the Voter Registrar is non-partisan and they just follow the established rules.
