Recount puts Santorum on Indiana primary ballot
Board says GOP candidate has enough signatures to qualify
11:38 PM, Feb. 23, 2012

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum can count on being on Indiana's May 8 primary election ballot, thanks to a recount of his petition signatures in Marion County.

The original tally showed he fell eight signatures short in the 7th Congressional District, which is entirely in Marion County. Candidates must collect the signatures of 500 registered voters in each of the nine congressional districts to be on the ballot.

Santorum's campaign said it thought he had turned in hundreds more than necessary, including in the 7th District.

On Thursday -- one day before the Indiana Election Commission was to weigh challenges to ballot access by Santorum and other candidates -- the Marion County Board of Voter Registration said Santorum had more than enough signatures for inclusion on the ballot.

It's going to be a recount election season for the pubs. How many times have the repubs done recounts so far?

8 votes in one precinct seems like nothing to me. He ought to be on the ballot. Besides, he's completely insane, which is a good thing.
