On August 21, Cornel West, who was an independent presidential candidate in 2024, asked a U.S. District Court to strike down the Pennsylvania law that requires minor party and independent presidential candidates for presidential elector to file elaborate paperwork, and yet which does not require anything to be signed by presidential elector candidates for parties that have 15% of the registration. The brief says there are no facts in dispute and that summary judgment is justified. The laws in question kept the Constitution Party, the Party for Socialism and Freedom, and West off the ballot in 2024. The case is West v Pennsylvania Department of state, w.d., 2:24cv-1349.
