On May 17, out-of-state petitioners filed their Reply Brief in Benezet v Boockvar, 20-2976. This is the case against the Pennsylvania ban on out-of-state circulators for primary petitions. Pennsylvania already permits out-of-state circulators for general election petitions.
In this case, the U.S. District Court had declared the primary election ban unconstitutional, but she wrote the decision so that it only applies to the particular plaintiffs who filed the case. So the appeal, filed by the petitioners, aims to persuade the Third Circuit that the ban is unconstitutional for any future out-of-state circulators.
This case has been going for a ridiculous amount of time. The ban on out-of-state petition circulators on primary petitions is blatantly unconstitutional and should have been thrown out a long time ago.
