On February 21, the Pennsylvania Green Party asked the State Supreme Court to put Cheri Honkala on the March 21 special election ballot (for the state representative vacant seat in the 197th district). The case is Green Party of Pennsylvania v Department of State, 11 MAP 2017.
The link to the party’s brief also includes the order of the lower court, which had denied the request. The issue is the deadline for filing paperwork to be on the ballot. The statute appears to contradict itself. One reference in the statute suggests the deadline was January 30, but another suggests it is January 31. The party filed on January 31.
Let the candidate run in the election!
I found it curious that both the Green and Democratic candidates have been removed from the ballot, allowing the Republican candidate to apparently run opposed. So I looked up the Secretary of the Commonwealth Pedro Cortes to see what his political leanings were, but discovered not much on that point. http://www.dos.pa.gov/about-us/Pages/Secretary-of-the-Commonwealth.aspx
Lee, apparently he’s a Dem.

A write in candidate could beat a GOP in that district
Permit the person to run for office in the upcoming election.
