re: #230 goddamnedfrank

I have no problem believing he didn’t get enough valid signatures, he’s deeply unpopular within the GOP right now and is only running as an opportunity to shit on Trump (who absolutely deserves every ounce of that shit.) Signature gathering is a shit show and you need a significant buffer to get over the hurdle, in California after submission you need to pass a random sample test suggesting that you’ve got 110% of the minimum number that are valid to qualify automatically, otherwise they all have to be checked, unless the random sample comes in below 95% in which case you’re SOL.

It’s easy to see how this can be gamed by deliberately flooding a signature campaign with invalid bullshit, and if you’re Chris Christie there are going to be a lot of angry MAGA shitheads eager to ratfuck you off the ballot.

True enough, maybe: hence my use of the word “try”…
