After failing to obtain the mere 5,000 signatures needed to get on the ballot for the New York Democratic Primary, Iowa’s third senator has now apparently failed to get on to the Virginia ballot as well.
Capitol Watch noted it yesterday. And apparently, this time it is the result of incompetence. From Ballot Access News:
The Virginia Board of Elections denied Chris Dodd’s appeal to be on the Democratic presidential primary ballot. His campaign had turned his signatures in to the Richmond City Hall, instead of to the office of the State Board of Elections, on the last day. His campaign had asked the State Board of Elections to overlook that error, but the State Board refused.
Oops.
Perhaps I am mistaken, but I thought the way you won primaries was by actually participating in them.
In the meantime, Dodd has actually lost ground in Iowa according to the American Research Group, Inc., dropping from 3% to 2%.
