VA: Hard-Right Del. Nick Freitas Fails to File Properly, Announces He's Withdrawing His Candidacy

This is crazy; check out the scoop by RTD political reporter Graham Moomaw on the huge f’up by hard-right Del. Nick Freitas (R-HD30; 61% Gillespie district). Also, see below for some analysis by Chaz Nuttycombe and Geoffrey Skelley of 538. The bottom line, though, is that “it would be the funniest thing on earth if Nick Freitas screwing up his paperwork led to this district flipping Democratic by R’s not being able to have anyone in the race, because there is no, I repeat, no path to a majority for R’s if this seat flips.” Hahaha. Oh, and don’t forget to support Democratic nominee Ann Ridgeway – she’s great!
