U.S. District Court Lawrence Stengel will hear Constitution Party of Pennsylvania v Aichele on Monday, May 16, at 9:30 am. The issue is whether the Constitution, Green, and Libertarian Parties should be put on the ballot with no more petitioning, given that the existing law has been held unconstitutional and the state legislature has not replaced the old law. The federal courthouse is at 601 Market Street, Philadelphia, courtroom 14B. The hearing is at 9:30 a.m.
PA is a big state and if would really help the three parties put up bigger national numbers and lend their candidates more credibility..Lets hope the judge is fair and puts them on.
Richard- Do you have a sense of how this is likely to go?
I think there also used to be miner parties in Pennsylvania, but that was before Obama’s war on coal.
