Virginia Republican delegate Nick Freitas, who wants to run for re-election in the legislative election of November 2019, is off the ballot due to having filed his candidacy paperwork in the wrong office. On August 2 the Virginia State Board of Elections turned down his appeal.
This story says he may be a write-in candidate in November. In 1989, a legislator was elected to the Virginia legislature by write-ins at the general election. Thanks to Daniel Sachs for this news.

Why did he always miss the deadlines? Why did the paperwork go to the wrong office? We can’t expect preferential treatment if we don’t follow the rules too.
Do the rules apply to Terry McAuliffe too? Didn’t sign a simple form that is required by VA Code. Does he get preferential treatment??
