The Constitution, Green, and Libertarian Parties are in the Third Circuit to overturn the state’s new county distribution requirement for statewide petitions for state office. The case law is overwhelmingly strong that statewide petitions cannot have county distribution requirements, because counties are vastly unequal in population.

The state’s brief in defense of the county distribution requirement had been due on October 26, but the state has asked for, and received, an extension to file by November 30. The case is Constitution Party of Pennsylvania v Cortes, 16-3266.

U.S. District Court Judge Liam O’Grady will hear De La Fuente v Alcorn, e.d. 1:16cv-1201, on November 18 at 10 a.m. The issue is whether the state can require candidates for presidential elector (for petitioning candidates) to disclose their full Social Security numbers before the petition may start to circulate.

On October 25 the Federal Election Commission posted this list of presidential candidates who are on the ballot in at least one state. The FEC chart tells the state each is on, and what the ballot label is. Then there is a contact list for each candidate.

The chart does not have information about write-in status for any particular candidate. That information will be in the November 1, 2016 print Ballot Access News. Thanks to Thomas Jones for the link.
