Republican NorCo Council Candidate Challenged in Commonwealth Court

Senior Judge Ed Reibman has ruled that Northampton County Council District One voters will have a choice this Fall.  That district consists of Bethlehem, Hellertown, Lower Saucon and Williams Tp. But Republican Steven R Topp, represented by Bucks County election lawyer Larry Otter, is persisting in his claim that Hellertown Republican William Rowe should be removed from the ballot because of a technical defect in his nominating petition.  He has asked the Commonwealth Court to reverse Judge Reibman

Northampton County elections officials are unable to prepare, print and mail out ballots until this question is resolved.

Ken Kraft is the Democratic candidate.

  3. Mr Kraft and Lamont seem a little scared to run against someone. Maybe Kenny might screw up like he did when designing his last project.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
