Pennsylvania Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Nader Re-Appeal on 2004 Fees
April 16th, 2009
On April 16, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court noted probable jurisdiction in Ralph Nader’s new appeal of the fees that were assessed against him in 2004. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court had taken a similar action last month in the Green Party’s 2006 case, which was very similar.
Although most readers of this blog are probably already familiar with the issue, to restate it: Pennsylvania is the only state that has ever had a policy of charging petitioning candidates for the administrative costs of removing them from the ballot. Even Pennsylvania had never done such a thing, until 2004, when it was invented to be used against Nader.
Good luck, stalinists, you’ll need it.
