WOT?! A judge ruled according to the spirit of the law rather than the letter? In AZ?! Holy carp, first I start this day giving props to FL cops for preventing a spree-killing without using either racial profiling or waiting for a “stand your ground” defense, and then I end this day by admiring an AZ judge for ruling in favor of Justice over politics.
My world is wrecked. Must go outside now.

700 of his nomination petition signatures were invalid.
Isn’t that like voter fraud?

Before you go, today Obama pushed thru three important federal judges in FL, Il and WA. All minorities and two from the LBGT community.

I know someone who works for a firm with quite a niche specialty, signature analysis. She told me they do a LOT of work for the county concerning falsified signatures on nominating petitions and ballot proposition petitions. Recently we were at a party and she asked me to attempt to sign false signatures to a fake petition for a class she was teaching. It is HARD to try to sign someone else’s name and have it look legit/not like it came from the same person. People who engage in this shit are blithering idiots if they think the county doesn’t actually look at the signatures (actually they sample them, only looking at individual petitions one-by-one if the sample indicates fraud). And, you don’t need to be a signature analyst to spot many cases of it because when you try to sign a signature intentionally that doesn’t look like your own, you do it s-l-o-w-l-y and the lack of fluidity is jarring.
She also told me that many of the cases come from paid petition circulators, but you also get a few from candidates trying to get on the ballot. It’s a felony and it gets prosecuted.

I wonder if one person signed all of them and if his name was Cesar Chavez.

Typical con, they can only win if they cheat. The sad thing is all the suckers that would vote on name only, sorta like Bush but the perverted thing is Bush 1 was not liked. GO figure…

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a picture that screams “douchebag” so perfectly.

You sucker. That was Cesar Chavez’s (the con-artist formerly known as Scott Fistler)'s wife.

Bingo.
I do agree with you especially if you’ve never seen that person’s signature, but I do a real good job of signing my boss’ name to documents (with his permission of course). He has admitted that it freaks him out that I do such a good job.

So I guess this means that the method for being elected to Congress used by Eddie Murphy in “The Distinguished Gentlemen” doesn’t actually work? Whaaaat…!?
(If the movies are lying to me then, man, I don’t believe in nothin’ no more.)

Maybe I could change my name to “Ayn Rand”. OK fuck it, “Ronald Reagan”. I’m Ronald Reagan, and a GOPer now and I’m running for president. Send me money.

The con game, formerly known as the GOP, isn’t finished attracting grifters…er…candidates.

Good! He deserves worse, much worse than just getting thrown off the ballot.
I suspect Fistler is the kind of guy who will change his name again and/or move to another state where no one knows him & run for office again. He also strikes me as someone who is not interested in becoming a public servant – well, certainly not for altruistic purposes – but to see how far he can take his con without getting caught.
So at the very least Fistler’s picture ought to be on a website along with any other individuals who try to pull this stunt for future reference.

Ah, yes… The Grumpy Old Party at it’s very finest…
It’s like an old saying from the world of Pro Wrestling…
“Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat.”
Sums up the GOP pretty well, I’d say.
