Libertarians make ballot in Pennsylvania

 Libertarian Presidential Candidate to Speak in Centre County | StateCollege.com - Geoff Rushton:

July 31, 2020 - "Earlier this week the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Libertarian Party's challenge, filed in the spring, to Pennsylvania's requirements that third parties collect in-person signatures for ballot access in the November general election. The party argued that the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions made it too difficult to collect the signatures in person before the Aug. 3 deadline.

"This weekend, [presidential candidate Jo] Jorgensen and the party's vice presidential candidate, Spike Cohen, are on crisscrossing tours across the commonwealth in an effort to gain the needed 5,000 signatures by Monday. Cohen's tour will cover eastern Pennsylvania. Liz Terwilliger, Libertarian candidate for Pennsylvania's 12th congressional district, which includes part of Centre County, said in a statement she appreciated the top ticket candidates embarking on the signature drive."

"Jorgenson and running mate Jeremy 'Spike' Cohen campaigned on a three-day tour in 20 cities around PA to voice their opinions and introduce themselves to the Pennsylvania public. Spike visited York County earlier this month as a part of this campaign.

"Despite the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, recent court rulings required volunteers to collect over 5,000 physical signatures to ensure ballot access in November. With help from hundreds of volunteers, the candidates collected double the number of required signatures."
