Looks like DeCamp either is getting bad advice or just doesn’t know what he is doing.

Could be either if he’s not a career politician…

This is REAL basic party stuff. The County Republicans should have made sure he covered this. Assuming they are so disorganized and polarized that they cannot do their job the board of elections usually explains the process and rules to candidates when they pull petitions. Now if your Board of Elections is under attack and disorganized. Guess what, Failure happens.

It does show that this candidate can’t even research the rules of running a campaign and staying within the law. How can we trust him to do the research of any issues he will be deciding on if he does get in? Unless, of course, who he is running against has already proven to do the same in which case is really sad for the voters.

Generally candidates rely upon the party to aid them with the proper filings. It also would behoove the party to assist the candidates when filing because when you endorse and fund a candidate and they make a big mistake it’s generally looked on bad on the party as well.
I see Stain is still doing a bang up job!

Cmon Rothenbuhler, nothing better to do?
Laws like that are too restrictive in the first place.
