Got this in my email earlier:
December 17, 2007
Congratulations! As of 2:00 PM ET today, Ron Paul was certified to be on the ballot for the Republican presidential primary in Virginia.
The Republican Party HQ of Virginia determined that he had enough signatures to be on the ballot. Actually, their staff had to stop counting after the first box of petitions because there were just too many petitions to count.
Thank you to all our volunteers for your hard work in getting Congressman Ron Paul on the ballot. You made this happen!
Cheers,
Mike McHugh
