Whoa!! Stop the presses! In their frantic efforts to get the required 33,000 signatures to get on the November ballot, the John Price led team of Waterman/Jehl may have acquired an astounding 350 signatures in Allen County Angry White Boy, Dan Turkette, is reporting. In addition to the 150 mentioned earlier, that will bring them to a total of a whopping 500 signatures. Looks like that Taxpayer Party will be popping the cork to their champagne in 3…2…1…never!

Waterman/Jehl failing at signatures

I just called voter registration to inquire how many signatures Waterman/Jehl turned in today. It’s public information. Instead of just telling me, after they found out who I was I was put on hold. I’d give odds that they asked Andy (I never met a democrat I didn’t like) Downs what to tell me. They got back on the phone and transferred me to Deb Morrone and I was sent to voice mail.

All I was trying to do was confirm what a very reliable source had already told me. They turned in approximately 350 signatures. When you consider that Allen County is the third most populous county in the state, that won’t get it, now will it?

Do the math! – AWB

Petition signatures to get on the Indiana ballot as an independent third party? Rounded up, 33,000.

Petition signatures that the John Price led candidacy of John Waterman for Governor has at this point for today’s deadline? 128 certified according the Indiana County Clerks.

Frugal Hoosiers has more:

As of Friday, Indiana County Clerks had received a total of 128 certified signatures for Sen. John Waterman, leaving him just about 33,000 votes short of the 33,000 votes needed to get him on the ballot in his race for governor. That’s about four per day since he announced. At this rate, Waterman will qualify for ballot access in December of 2030. He’ll be 86 years old.

Ouch!

As FH reminds us, it looks like the Price is Wrong…!

I mean really, did anybody take this candidacy seriously? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

The Taxpayers Party, Indiana’s newest political party created for the sole purpose of getting State Senator John Waterman on the ballot to run for Governor with his running mate, former Matt Kelty for Fort Wayne Mayor Campaign Manager Glenna Jehl, has launched a website - www.taxpayersparty.net.

I understand that some Republican Precinct Committeemen in Fort Wayne have signed the petition despite be warned not to. Though they might not know better, precinct committeemen can be stripped of their positions by County Chairmen for violating their pledge to support the party and its nominees.

Note: This is in no way an endorsement of the Taxpayers Party by anyone at Hoosier Access. However, it is worth noting the professional quality of the logo and website and update readers about the progress of this effort as it unfolds.
