Pennsylvania elects its State Treasurer this year. Four Democrats are running in the April 22 primary for that office. All of them needed 1,000 valid signatures. Furthermore, their statewide petitions had to contain 100 valid signatures from each of 5 different counties.

Two of the four candidates had a challenge to their petitions filed. However, on March 11, both challenged petitions prevailed in state court. The courts sifted through each signature and decided that each of the two challenged candidates did have at least 100 valid signatures from each of 5 counties.
