Third Circuit Identifies Judges Who Will Handle Pennsylvania Case on Who Can Circulate Primary Petitions

On June 25, the Third Circuit said it will decide De La Fuente v Cortes, 17-3378, without oral argument. The three judges who now have the case are Patty Shwartz, Richard Nygaard, and Marjorie Rendell. The issue is the Pennsylvania law that restricts who can circulate petitions to get a candidate on a primary ballot. The law says they must be voters who are registered in Pennsylvania and who are members of the same party.

Judge Shwartz was also on the panel that earlier issued an opinion in a similar New Jersey case, Wilmoth v Guadagno. That ruling remanded the case back to the U.S. District Court, but said the New Jersey restriction on who can sign a primary petition cannot survive unless it is needed for a compelling reason.

  1. The United Coalition’s first candidates vied for the Santa Cruz, California election of 1992 as a team of candidates; James Ogle [Environmentalist], Kevin Clark [Green], Abdul Hassan [Peace and Freedom] and Linda Lemaster [Democratic], that’s when our team discovered pure proportional representation (PPR).

    The California Green Party doesn’t want anyone to know and so they promoted NOTA in 1994 against the United Coalition who was correctly bringing pure proportional representation (PPR) to every voter’s pamphlet with the campaign of James Ogle (Green) for CA Governor, who had switched from Environmentalist to Green Party, which unified more voters around the world in the 1992 to 1994 Usenet campaigns in DAS.

    That campaign continued in 1996 when Ralph Nader agreed to be on our team and ran for POTUS himself but the Green Party bosses made sure that his campaign failed.

    Google (then known as “backrub.com”) derived their name from our team in October of 1997 but their founder Sergie Brin doesn’t want you to know: http://usparliament.org/how-google-got-its-name.php

    Google, the California Green Party and the national Libertarian Party have viciously opposed the United Coalition and despite the fact that their party bosses of the CA State Green Party and the national Libertarian Party’s (LP) censored our 2012 POTUS campaigns by de-linking their site from the national LP site, James Ogle won the only primary (MO) that fell before the LP’s national convention by 52.7% while attaining the votes with the unifying message of PPR.
