The North Carolina State Board of Elections web page now shows that Rocky De La Fuente has 10,018 valid signatures. He needs 10,000 in order to be listed on the Democratic presidential primary ballot. He is the only presidential primary candidate this year who made a serious attempt to complete this petition. The other Democrats and Republicans listed on the North Carolina presidential primary ballots did not need a petition, because the Board put them on the ballot automatically because they are discussed in news media. Thanks to Deez Nuts for this news.
And meanwhile, O’Malley failed to get 1,000 valid signatures in Ohio.
Seems like Rocky might wind up in third place at the end of the day.
I see that De La Fuente’s Wikipedia page is being considered for deletion. I hope that doesn’t happen.
Austin, thank you very much for that news.
