On October 11, Cornel West appealed his Pennsylvania ballot access case to the Third Circuit. West v Pennsylvania Dept. of State, 24-2913. He had been kept off by the U.S. District Court on October 10, strictly because it is too late to reprint the ballots. However, the U.S. District Court virtually said that West would have won the case if there had been more time. The U.S. District Court said it seems discriminatory that qualified parties need not submit signed affidavits of candidacy for their presidential elector candidates, whereas petitioning candidates must do that.
