According to this story in The Connection, Hillary Clinton’s campaign paid professional signature gatherers $2.10 per signature, in order to collect enough signatures to get on the Virginia presidential primary ballot. Virginia’s presidential primary ballot access law is easily the most stringent such law in the nation. Candidates need 10,000 signatures, with 400 from each U.S. House district. However, the Virginia Democratic Party collected 7,300 for all the approved Democratic candidates, so each of them only needed another 6,000 or so.
