Perry's lawyers said a preliminary injunction was necessary since the deadline to print ballots in Virginia will be in two to three weeks.
“In the absence of a preliminary injunction, plaintiff will suffer irreparable harm,” per filing.
The case is Perry v. Judd, 3:11-cv-856, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia in Richmond.
As I understand it Rick Perry did not collect 12,000 signatures.
And I think we are all aware of voter fraud, voter registration fraud and petition fraud.
Therefore, it would not surprise me if people signed the Perry petition who were not qualified to sign the petition or of some of those collecting petition signatures may have taken some short-cuts.
Finally, it important that we as a nation and each state and political party take measures to eliminate voter fraud, voter registration fraud and petition fraud.
They weren’t looked at, at all because they exceeded the magic # of 15K
Seems like a fair rule /s
He out collected Newt.
He submitted 11,911 signatures.
Newt got screwed too, but instead of recognizing that the VA process is BS you’d rather bash Perry.
The suit is based on precedence regarding the constitutionally of requiring that petition circulators must be registered to vote or be eligible to vote in Virginia, thereby restricting voter access to sign petitions. The USSC has ruled that petition circulators can be from outside the state.
“And now they will face a lawsuit.”
The lawsuit that has been filed claims that the VA GOP violated Rick Perry’s constitutional rights.
However, as conservatives, we both know that a private organization, such as the VA GOP does not have to extend constitutional protections to people.
This motion is likely to answer that.
It's a perfectly legal process, so there should be no problem with letting it go through.
Unless you're based, or something.
But that couldn't be the case, now could it?
Largely it states that VA voters were denied access to candidates on the ballot.
But I will let the lawyers hash that out.
The 3 members of the State Board of Elections are also defendants in the lawsuit.
You must think its great that 5 of 7 of our candidates were kept off the ballot.
According to the news, Santorum has just surged to 2nd place in Iowa.
It’s a shame no one can vote for him in VA.
Whaaaa!
Some people would cut their nose off to spite their face.
Tired from traveling. ;-)
“The Texas attorney general’s office is prepared to take all necessary legal action to defend the voter ID law enacted by the Texas Legislature,” spokeswoman Lauren Bean said.

The Supremes have already ruled on this issue in 2008.
And had previously “ok’d” the Carolina ID Law.
But then ofcourse Holder is above the Supremes.
Some people seem to think these shenanigans are OK.
Actually the Great Commonwealth of VA is unconstitutionally denying the right of 11,000 people the RIGHT to VOTE for the CANDIDATE of THEIR choice.
And when we dared protest, they claimed we spit on a black man.
Exactly, Since when has VA come up with the idea to deny people the right to vote for the Candidate of their choice?
Strange that the only two candidates approved for the VA ballot are the two leftists.
Coincidence?
Somehow, I doubt it.
