  1. The procedure is somewhat odd in Virginia. Candidates file with the state, but the petitions are sent to the party to validate, including that the signers are Democrats.

  2. Virginia has non-partisan voter registration, so there is really no way to determine if the signers are Democrats.

  3. If Lyndon Larouche had submitted a petition, the party might have had found a way.

    Castro filed at the last minute, they couldn’t even find all the paperwork, and he only had 5400 raw signatures.
