I’m being told that the Constitution Party in West Virginia turned in over 20,000 signatures overall. The Herald-Dispatch recently reported earlier today on how many signatures had been turned in and determined valid.
The Constitution Party has so far submitted 11,314 signatures for its candidates, Chuck Baldwin. Officials had validated 7,442 of those by Friday, with 1,750 more to review.
With 11,314 signatures turned in earlier today, only 9564 had been reviewed at that time. Of the 9,564 signatures that had been reviewed, 7,442 were found valid. This is a 77.8% validity rate. My source claims over 20,000 signatures have been turned in for West Virginia. If the validity rate holds, approximately 15,560 signatures are valid with only 15,118 required.
Its safe to assume its going to be close, though.
West Virginia needs as many real third party options as possible. There are plenty of disgruntled conservatives and ex-Hillary voters there who really might consider someone besides the old buzzard and the black.
OK Trent, now I know what you mean. Thanks.
