A person hired to collect names to get Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on the ballot for the Virginia primary turned in fraudulent signatures, Gingrich says.
“We hired somebody who turned in false signatures. We turned in 11,100 -- we needed 10,000 — 1,500 of them were by one guy who frankly committed fraud," Gingrich told a woman at a campaign stop in Algona, Iowa.
Gingrich, who lives in Virginia, failed to meet requirements to qualify for the primary, Republican Party of Virginia officials said.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, whose petition to appear on the ballot was also rejected, is suing the party over the state's law regulating access to the primary ballot.
