Pennsylvania ACLU Takes Carl Stevenson Ballot Access Case to Pennsylvania Supreme Court
August 31st, 2010Carl Stevenson is an independent candidate for Pennsylvania legislature. He was challenged off the ballot on the grounds that some of his signatures had been collected by someone who doesn’t live in the same district. The Commonwealth Court removed him from the ballot, even though in 2002 a U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania had struck down the requirement that circulators must live in the same district.
According to this story, the ACLU of Pennsylvania is now representing Stevenson, and has appealed his lawsuit to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Mr Stevenson should be on the the ballot. I hope the ACLU of PA can get this overturned ASAP. Please keep me informed.

Every effort must be expended to end the corporate controlled USA and PA structures and the two party duopoly that creates barriers to discussion and democracy.
