6 Democrats, 6 Republicans meet deadline for Va. primary ballot
Associated Press - December 14, 2007 7:35 PM ET
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A dozen presidential candidates -- six Democrats and six Republicans -- met today's deadline for submitting petitions to qualify for Virginia's February 12th primaries.
Candidates had until 5 p.m. to supply the 10,000 signatures the State Board of Elections requires for a spot on the ballot. Eight candidates waited until today, some filing minutes before the cutoff.
Republican Ron Paul's volunteers submitted the most signatures. The Texas congressman with libertarian views tendered more than 21,000 signatures yesterday.
Chairmen of both parties have until Wednesday to certify their slates of candidates.
Virginia's primaries fall one week after the Super Tuesday primaries, which are likely to seal the nominations for both parties.
