Virgil Goode Jr., the former Republican congressman now running for president on the Constitution Party ticket, has qualified for the ballot in his native Virginia, the State Board of Elections ruled Tuesday.

The state Republican Party has actively challenged the validity of the signatures gathered by Goode, who is seen by some as a potential spoiler to Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in the Commonwealth.  Pennsylvania Republicans had Goode removed from the state’s ballot last month.
