On September 19, a lawsuit was filed in Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court over the wording of a statewide ballot measure. See this story. The voters will be asked if the retirement age for mandatory retirement for judges should be changed from 70 to 75. The people who filed the lawsuit, including a past member of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, argue that the wording is confusing. It only asks voters if they want the retirement age to be 75. The ballot measure does not explain that the current age limit is 70 and that if the measure is approved, judges will be able to remain in their jobs for more time than they currently have.

According to this story, the New Hampshire Democratic Party has again asked the Ballot Law Commission to remove independent U.S. House candidate Shawn O’Connor from the ballot. The Ballot Law Commission already voted 4-1 to leave him on the ballot. The Commission will meet again on Wednesday, September 21.

Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, sent some overseas absentee ballots that have multiple errors: (1) Gary Johnson’s name is omitted; (2) Darrell Castle’s party name is listed as “Conservative” instead of “Constitution”; (3) the Green Party vice-presidential stand-in is listed, instead of the actual vice-presidential nominee. See this story at Election Law Blog. The county has apologized and says it has sent out corrected ballots to all the voters who received the faulty ballots.

UPDATE: Indiana County made the same error.
