On Wednesday night, at 7 PM sharp, the LV LWV will host a debate between incumbent State Rep. Doug Reichley and challenger Patrick Slattery, a Democrat. It will be at the Clock Building322 Main Street, Emmaus.
What about independent Carl Stevenson? A Commonwealth Court decision tossing him off the ballot has been sent back by the State Supremes, who were none too pleased that the First Amendment was totally ignored. Stevenson gets a second bite at the Commonwealth Court apple today.
Reichley had challenged Stevenson's nomination papers, claiming he had too few signatures and that he was using a nonresident as a circulator. Since the state is under a federal injunction requiring them to allow nonresidents to circulate nomination petitions, the only question left is whether he has enough signatures.

He has enough sigs, but Reichley will demand that Stevenson prove he was an NFL Quarterback, NHL Goalie, and once struck out Babe Ruth.
LWV requires only that candidates be on the ballot to be part of the debate.
Well Bernie - it looks like Stevenson DID had egg on his face afterall,

Well, if he does not have enough valid signatures, he does not belong on the ballot. My concern was that the Commw Ct ignored the First Amendment.
