On April 16, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a two-page order in In re: Nomination Petition of Robert Jordan, 56 MAP 2022. The court ruled that even though legislative redistricting wasn’t complete during the normal petitioning period for primary candidates, there will be no relaxation of the law that requires legislative candidates to have lived at least one year in the districts. Thanks to Adam Bonin for this news. The vote was 5-1. Justice Kevin Brobson, a Republican, dissented.

The lower court had relaxed the requirement.
