2,000 signatures with no addresses? I cannot believe that to be true. The form used for the signatures requires the entry of the person’s address. Why didn’t the signature gatherers make sure these forms were filled out properly? How did the signers get the idea that they did not have to fill in their address? This thing stinks to high heaven and the Virginia Republican Party will have hell to pay if signatures lacked address entries.

I agree. 2000 out of 10000 is 20%. I can see maybe 100 signatures being questionable, but 20%? Something stinks is right.

"Never assume conspiracy when ineptitude will do".

Making excuses for Newt you are. His signature gathering effort was a confused and dilatory, using paid shills at shopping malls and supermarkets. The successful efforts were conducted by volunteers outside polling places, which garners actual registered voters.

Newt's executive incompetence is on full display. If he can't muster the ability to get on his home State ballot he is hardly GOP nominee material.
