So, here's a question...
I know someone who is soliciting petition signatures to get Mitt Romney's name added to the Republican ballot for the VA Open Primaries scheduled for February 2008. According to this individual, 10,000 signatures from across the state are required to get Romney's name added to the ballot.
My question is, if we want someone else's name added to the same ballot, what would it take? Do the people and Republican party of VA have what it takes to get another candidates name added to the ballot?
What about other parties? Can the citizens do the same for other parties? Are the requirements the same?
I'm not crazy about many of the candidates this go round at all and any help that can be given to those lacking in support could, potentially, go a long way.
