Four years ago, when he first ran for Bethlehem City Council, Adam Waldron screwed up. Big time. He failed to file circulator affidavits with his petition, mistakenly thinking that his own affidavit as a candidate was good enough. He was a sitting duck. But his opponents refused to take advantage of Waldron's oversight, and his petition was never challenged. He went on to win and decided to run again.
As he waited to file, he told me he did everything right this time. There was no way, no how, that anyone could challenge him.
When he proudly presented his petition,a Clerk looked at it three seconds and told him he forgot to get it stamped by a notary.
Out the door he went. But he's got time.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
