  1. Wow, even those losers can’t dispute that Dr. West has enough valid signatures. How embarrassing for them.

    Funny how they were literally trying to bribe Dr. West to endorse Kopmala … why would he endorse a corrupt party who’s trying to kick him off every ballot? That is part of the reason that Kennedy, a champion of democracy, united with Trump against the anti-democratic Democrat party

  2. You are babbling nonsense. If documents are not notarized properly, the loser’s petition is invalid. Everyone knows that. It’s embarrassing when they can’t even properly notarize.

  3. Lindsay, there are many complex issues relating to notarization. Suppose the notarization was done in another state? Suppose the notary’s commission had expired? Does that really matter for the purposes of election administration? Notarization of petitions is not even necessary, and only a handful of states require petitions to be notarized. The notarization requirement for petitions was declared unconstitutional in federal court in Pennsylvania in a Green Party case.

  4. Democrats haven’t learned their lesson yet, huh? Trying to remove every candidate from the ballot will just unify everyone against you…

  5. I agree with Thecommander Jeff here. They trying to eventually become the only legal political party in this country.

  6. @Lindsay
    If I were to walk into the town clerk’s office and hand them a paper that was supposed to be notarized, but wasn’t, they wouldn’t take it. They’d hand it right back to me.

    If the executive branch of government failed to carry out a law, the court needs to grant West a chance to remedy the situation.
