On March 7, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court heard challenges to the petitions of both Jennifer Mann, and Dennis Morrison-Wesley. Both are running in the Democratic primary for State Treasurer. Two other Democrats are running for the post as well. Both of them had challenged Mann, but one of the two challenges against Mann has since been dropped.

Pennsylvania requires major party members running for Treasurer to submit 1,000 signatures. Also each petition must have at least 100 signatures from each of five counties. The two challenged candidates are charged with failing to meet the county distribution requirement.

If the Commonwealth Court disqualifies either Mann or Morrison-Wesley, then whichever one of those candidates has been eliminated from the ballot is likely to then file a federal lawsuit, challenging the county distribution requirement.
