No it is not a joke. i collected signatures for all three candidates at the polls on Tuesday. peacebird Nov 2015 #3
In Virginia, you do that if they want on the ballot as independents HassleCat Nov 2015 #12
Wrong, in Virginia all candidates in the primary need 5000 signatures, with at least 250 from each peacebird Nov 2015 #13
Does Team Hillary not want or need my two notarized Virginia petitions to get her on the ballot? peacebird Nov 2015 #4

Why not just drop them off at a DNC booth? About the same as giving them to a Clinton campaign. nt Live and Learn Nov 2015 #21

I guess it is, but it's only going to annoy Clinton supporters. I guess you're trying to make a point about how difficult it is for Sanders to get on the Democratic ballot?

I was working the polls and put out petitions for each. i have about 25 signatures for each of them. i know where to send Bernie's, but I don't have an address to send the notarized petitions to Team Hillary or O'Malley.

Why do you find that so hard to believe?

Otherwise, the political parties choose the candidates.

Congressional District.

Every single candidate needs signatures on petitions, notarized, and approved by the state

I have heard from O'Malley supporters, and I know where to send Bernie's petitions. But so far no one has given me an address to send these in for Hillary?

This is the third time (that I'm aware of) that this request has been made. I will have the wonderful opportunity of meeting Hillary Clinton in a few weeks. Send them to me and I'll hand deliver them for you, but I think you need to send them to the address in my subject line. Oh, and do you have permission from Hillary to collect petition signatures for her campaign?

At the polls on election day. If you PM your address I will mail them to you. Campaigns like to bulk turn in these forms so they can ballpark the work left to be done.

Thank you!

I won't be providing my address to you. Sorry. And I was being sarcastic about 'hand delivering' them. I will spend my limited time discussing other things. You need to send them to:

State Board of Elections, 1100 Bank Street, 1st Floor, Richmond, VA 23219

The Clinton Campaign doesn't 'ballpark' anything.

Thank you for being active in the Democratic Party. I just can't release any information that might be used in a malignant manner. Thank you for your understanding.

I do understand not releasing private info, but offering to deliver it then turning it into a backhanded insulting slap at me was really not neccessary.

Are a sad indictment of where the party is right now. Come on people, remember we're part of the same team.
