On March 3, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that Green Party nominee Cheri Honkala should not be on the ballot, in the special legislative election being held on March 21. See this story.
The court did not explain its reasoning yet, but it will. The case is Green Party of Pennsylvania v Department of State, 11 MAP 2017.
At least the Democrats have been blocked from having a replacement nominee. Given the nature of the district, Honkala’s victory is feasible.
Are the Democrats also mounting a write-in campaign? The article made no mention of it.
And this is one reason I moved from Pennsylvania. Though I’m not a Green Party member, I support the right of all parties to have ballot access all the time, anywhere. Delaware is better for ballot access than PA, even though it is a Democrat strong hold.
Well, if there’s no relief from Federal courts, here’s hoping Cheri pulls off a Murkowski. . . .
