Can you suggest some good, historical and legal books and papers on the US history of ballot access law and arguments in favor of free and equitable ballot access laws.
Is the court going to answer the question on which commonwealth election is applicable for establishing the signature threshold?
And,
Will the court answer the question regarding eligible vs registered voters and the validity of the signatures?
A while back, you seemed to feel Romanelli’s legal team had the upper hand if the dispute reached the Supreme Court, if that is correct, do you still feel good about his chances.

Even though the Inquirer slammed the ballot access laws, does it bother to give any coverage on third party candidates when they do make the ballot?
