Charlie Off Ballot In Delco — The Delaware County (Pa) Republican Party has successfully removed Charlie Alexander of Marple from the ballot for the May 20 primary election.
Despite Charlie getting 1,500 petition signatures for the County Council race.
The challenge concerned the filing of a financial statement.
It was likely an inadvertent misreading of requirements and easily corrected.
Those who enforce the election code are notorious for their insistence on obeying every jot and tittle of it.
At least for those who run against the establishment.
We are not fans of Charlie and we are confident that he would have fairly lost to party-endorsed Liz Piazza and Brian Burke.
It remains, however, an extremely boneheaded move by GOP leaders which they have compounded with a crowing statement dissing Charlie’s supporters, most of whom are honest, very hard working activists and wonderful people.
You know, the kind you want on your side.
We plan on writing in Sharon Devaney and then backing the GOP ticket for the general as it is about the only way of saving Delco from the mind-blowing corruption that effuses the county Democrats like odor from a rock-concert port-a-potty.
We’d also like to point out that we generally like GOP Chairman Frank Agovino and his leadership team. We have no plans to pile on other than to point out that they really screwed up here.
