Pa Commonwealth Court Tosses Tupone From Ballot in Pa. 07 Congressional Race

In what certainly is good news for Democrat Bob Brooks and bad news for Republican Ryan Mackenzie, the Pa. Commonwealth Court has tossed "Green" party candidate Andrew Topne off the ballot in the race for the Pa. 07 Congressional District. I will post the Opinion later tonight or tomorrow. 

Commonwealth Court jurist Stella M Tsai, in a 33-page Opinion, concludes that, to be a nominee of the Green party, he should have sought a nomination from that party.

  1. Incumbent protection scam. Let the voters decide. This is cheating. What party is the "judge?"

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.
