“Green candidate vows to press on”

The Philadelphia Inquirer offers this report, which begins: “Despite two court setbacks in the last two days, Green Party U.S. Senate candidate Carl Romanelli said yesterday he will continue fighting to appear on the November ballot and expects to prevail.” Another snippet: “The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia on Wednesday upheld a state election code provision requiring Green Party and other minor-party candidates to obtain 67,070 valid voter signatures to get on this year’s ballot. Yesterday, Commonwealth Court President Judge James Gardner Colins upheld state officials’ calculation of the number of signatures minor-party candidates need to run for statewide office.”
