Pennsylvania still won’t permit out-of-state circulators to work on petitions for candidates running in primaries. That policy is being challenged by a lawsuit filed in January 2016, Benezet Consulting v Cortes, m.d., 1:16cv-74. A status conference in the case is set for April 20 at 11 a.m. in U.S. District Court in Harrisburg.

The case had been filed by a Michigan resident who wanted to circulate a Rand Paul primary petition. The judge denied injunctive relief on January 27 on the grounds that the lawsuit had been filed too late, but that is no barrier to her later ruling that the restriction is unconstitutional.
