I just have had an update on Picardgate.According to my sources, Picard's flight was delayed from France, hence, he missed the deadline to bring forward the nomination forms. According to my sources, Picard would have called friends from the airplane to ask them to collect signatures.
They were only able to collect 31 signatures by 4PM, but got the remaining number required in the next half-hour.

Dean was also on the same flight that was delayed by 27 hours and got an extension, as he missed his bilingualism exam this morning.
If the argument worked for Dean Haldenby, shouldn't it work for Picard as well?
Not necessarely. Also according to my sources, some deadlines are more important than others. For instance, Austin Menyasz missed the "mandatory" candidates' meeting, but got an exemption thanks to a doctor's note. Haldenby missed the bilingualism exam, but was able to get an exemption because of the plane delay. Picard? To be determined in the next hours.
What does the Chief electoral officer think of all of this? She is in Mexico. The two other staff are actually meeting as we speak before making a decision.
To be continued.
