Rick Perry will not appear on the Virginia presidential primary ballot, state Republican Party officials said Friday night, after he failed to submit the required number of valid signatures to qualify.
Ten thousand signatures are needed to get on the ballot for the Virginia primary, which is March 6, known as Super Tuesday. The Perry campaign says it submitted 11,911 signatures, according to The Washington Post. But at 6:30 p.m. the Virginia Republican Party posted on its?Twitter account?that after verification, it was determined that Mr. Perry did not submit the requisite amount.
The deadline for signatures was 5 p.m. Thursday. Mitt Romney and Ron Paul obtained the needed signatures to qualify; Newt Gingrich submitted 11,050 signatures, but the state Republican Party was still verifying those late Friday night.
Jon M. Huntsman Jr., Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann, the other Republican candidates, did not submit signatures in Virginia and therefore did not qualify.
President Obama submitted his signatures ? 15,000 ? on Dec. 2. He was certified as the only candidate on the Virginia Democratic ballot on Friday night.
