The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has this story about the hearing in the case over whether Pennsylvania Congressman Jason Altmire has enough valid signatures to be on the Pennsylvania April 2012 primary ballot. Altmire is running for re-election, but his petition was challenged by another Democratic Congressman, Mark Critz. Both must run against each other in the primary in order to be re-elected. Pennsylvania won’t let circulators work outside their home district. The residency of one of Altmire’s circulators is contested, as the story explains. Nothing in the story hints that Altmire’s attorneys also argued that the residency requirement for circulators is unconstitutional, even though a U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania in 2002 ruled that the in-district residency requirement for circulators is unconstitutional as applied to independent candidate petitions.
