Green Party joins Ballot Access lawsuit
• Green Party, Libertarians, and Constitution Party file federal lawsuit to challenge discriminatory provisions and enforcement of ballot access laws
• Lawsuit focuses on punitive fees assessed defending candidates in ballot access challenges and failure of state to count write-in votes
The Green Party of Pennsylvania is party to a lawsuit that was filed recently by the Center for Competitive Democracy (CCD), a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(3) legal advocacy group. The suit, filed in federal District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of the Constitution, Green and Libertarian Parties of Pennsylvania, challenges the constitutionality of the Pennsylvania Election Code provisions that authorize courts to order candidates to pay litigation costs and fees to private parties who challenge their nomination petitions. In recent years, these fees have amounted to more $80,000 for the crime of doing no more than trying to run for public office.
