The Third Circuit will hear Benezet Consulting v Boockvar, 20-2976, on Friday, September 24, at 10 a.m. The issue is the Pennsylvania ban on out-of-state circulators for primary petitions. The U.S. District Court had struck it down, but only as applied to the particular plaintiffs who had filed the lawsuit. The circulators had then appealed to the Third Circuit, arguing that the U.S. District Court should have struck it down for everyone.

The Third Circuit judges are Theodore McKee, a Clinton appointee; L. Felipe Restrepo, an Obama appointee; and Jane Roth, a Bush Jr. appointee.
