Nader is "already on" and it seems to be taking a long time. When will we know? Looks like another failure in the making.

I do not believe that if the challengers are successful that we could still have Etzel on the ballot since she officially withdrew, but I'm not an expert.

Hopefully, this should be the thing that closes the book on this case. “Bob Barr’s attorney put on witnesses to establish that the party simply followed normal procedure in Pennsylvania for presidential petitions, and that the same thing was done in the three previous presidential elections, not only for the Libertarians, but for other minor parties as well.”

Since they qualified with enough signatures, one or the other will be on, correct?
