[EL] Verification of Signatures on Candidate Nominating Petitions

Tue Apr 5 10:00:06 PDT 2016

116 F Supp 3d 486 (e.d. 2015).

Pennsylvania is unique, not because it is adversarial, but because there is no administrative method for determining if a petition is valid; the only method is judicial. Richard Winger 415-922-9779 PO Box 470296, San Francisco Ca 94147

Subject: Re: [EL] Verification of Signatures on Candidate Nominating Petitions    I am virtually certain that the 3rd circuit decision in Constitution Party v Aichele says that Pennsylvania's system is unique (and it is).  That decision remanded the case back to the US District Court, and that 2015 opinion almost certainly says Pennsylvania is unique.  The US District Court decision of 2015 invalidated that system for general election petitions.   Richard Winger 415-922-9779 PO Box 470296, San Francisco Ca 94147    From: "Greenberg, Kevin" <Kevin.Greenberg at flastergreenberg.com>

Subject: [EL] Verification of Signatures on Candidate Nominating Petitions    Does anyone have a list or a reference that identifies how each state verifies candidate petition signatures?   I have a brief due today and I’m trying to find some evidence to back up my claim (or disprove it) that Pennsylvania’s process that relies on adversarial litigation is unusual.   Although it did give Adam Bonin and I a chance to go head-to-head last week.   I was sorta hoping Rick would have covered that trial.  ;)   Kevin Greenberg Flaster/Greenberg PC   1600 John F.
