On February 2, U.S. District Court Judge John E. Jones will hear the ballot access case filed by the Green and Constitution Parties (Rogers v Cortes, no. 06-0066, middle district). Due to a random circumstance, the Pennsylvania statewide petition requirement this year is 66,827 signatures. Yet in every other even-year election in the last twenty years, the Pennsylvania requirement has been between 20,000 and 30,000.
Check out the Pennsylvania Ballott Access Coalition, a group made up of individuals and organizations, including several third parties, working to reform Pennsylvania’s ballott access & election laws.
