Pennsylvania Does Not Appeal the Ballot Access Wins in U.S. District Court from the March 2, 2015 Decision

Pennsylvania state government attorneys did not appeal any of the three points won on March 2, 2015, by the Libertarian and Green Parties in Green Party of Pennsylvania v Aichele. The government deadline to appeal was June 11, but no government appeal was lodged.

The three points that had been won on March 2, 2015, were: (1) the ban on out-of-state circulators is unconstitutional; (2) the requirement that each petition sheet be notarized is unconstitutional; (3) the ban on a voter signing the petitions of different petitioning parties, even if they are running for the same office, is unconstitutional.

The two parties are appealing the points they lost: (1) whether voters from different counties can sign the same petition sheet; (2) whether persons who are not registered to vote but who are eligible to register to vote can sign petitions.
