Rick Perry, who along with Newt Gingrich and several other candidates didn’t make the Virginia Republican presidential primary ballot, is taking the ballot access fight to court.

The suit challenges “the constitutional validity of the Virginia statute which regulates access to the ballot by presidential candidates and limits the rights of voters to vote for the candidate of their choice,” the campaign said.
