Petitions for Incumbent Pennsylvania State Legislators May have Forgeries

The Philadelphia News has this story. Last week, the Pennsylvania Attorney General said he is filing criminal charges against a former Pennsylvania House member for forging names on her 2006 primary petition. She did not run for re-election in 2006, after problems with her petition were revealed in 2006. She needed 300 valid signatures.

It should be noted that no Pennsylvania law official ever charged anyone in the 2004 Ralph Nader petition drive with a criminal forgery complaint. Also no one ever charged anyone associated with the Carl Romanelli 2006 petition with criminal forgery charges.

Meanwhile, two Pennsylvania House members running for re-election this year are also facing challenges that allege forgeries. Thanks to Larry Otter for the link.
