Pennsylvania holds two statewide elections for judicial office in November 2025. The only minor party or independent candidate on the ballot is the Liberal Party’s nominee for Superior Court, Daniel Wassmer. He needed 5,000 signatures. The challenge period has passed and no one challenged his petition.
Pennsylvania also has some statewide retention elections for other judicial posts, but they aren’t candidate-versus-candidate elections.
If Wassmer gets a vote total of 2% of the winning candidate’s vote, the Liberal Party will meet the state’s pinched definition of a qualified party. A group that meets that definition gets certain advantages, but not automatic ballot access generally. Instead it gets automatic ballot access in special elections, and is listed as a choice on the voter registration form. Currently the only third party with that status in Pennsylvania is the Libertarian Party. The Libertarian Party will keep that status until November 2026 even though it isn’t running in any 2025 statewide judicial elections.
Waldenloser isn’t running?
How much does he weigh? Can he run?
Considering he eats sticks of butter, probably not very fast or very far.
There’s a hilarious video of Waldenloser where he announces leaving the Libertarian Party. The crowd roars
The petition signature requirement for a minor party or independent candidate for state superior court in Pennsylvania is actually 2,500.
I heard that the Liberal Party turn in over 5,000 signatures.
I think it is 5,000 signatures for Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
Did Andy Gonzalez participate in the petition drive?
nonpartisan judges
Approval voting
Two bad ideas that are worse together.
Glen: John is on the ballot. As am I twice.
Steve: You mean the crowd from out of state? At the convention that illegally nominated candidates for Governor and Lt. Governor and an illiterate white supremist for US Senate? That crowd?
Magoon is a maroon and a communist along with Waldenloser.
Does Waldenloser still want the federal government to run Uber?
Waldenberger looks very creepy. Also very fat with poor hygiene.
LOL (very appropriate name) is an idiot.
Magoo is delusional.
All these (assumption) libertarian LOOZERS with Waldo’s dick still in their mouths 4 years later…
Yet not a single one of you can use your own real names.
Let alone, not a single libertardian on the ballot 🤡🤡🤡
Wow! A brand-new party got 5,000 signatures to get a judicial candidate on the ballot!
Meanwhile, the Libertarian Party has been around for 54 years and can’t do anything other than talk trash in the comments and be a Republican Party auxiliary club.
We’ll see you at the polls, boys.
Oh wait, nevermind, I guess we WON’T see you on the ballot this year. 😂
