On December 29, a Virginia voter who signed the petition to put Newt Gingrich on the Virginia ballot filed a lawsuit in state court, charging that many signatures on the Gingrich petition were probably invalidated, even though they were valid. The lawsuit focuses on the aspect of the state form that doesn’t give people much room to show their address. See this story. The lawsuit is in state court in Richmond. Thanks to Thomas Jones for this news.
The court will rule that he doesn’t have standing.
Most likely, but I think by the time the Virginia Primary rolls around, there will be a clear front-runner and it sure wouldn’t be Gingrich.
