This year the un-democratic rules the Republicans and  Democrats make up
have suceeded in keeping all third party and independent candidates off
the ballot for state office this fall.

The requirement was 67,070 signatures for  independent and third party candidates,
but only 2,000 for the two major parties.

Carl Romanelli collected  99,000 signatures! More than anyone in history.
Carl hired some paid signature gatherers to collect some of his signatures. He also hired homeless people to give them some work.  Needless to say some of those signatures were found to be invalid. If the republicans and democrats had to collect 67,000 signatures theirs would also have some invalid signatures.

After six weeks of counting the signatures a pa supreme court judge said, Carl  you don't have enough valid signatures you can't be on the ballot.   Carl never got to submit his signatures in court.



There are two ways to destroy democracy. 
One way is by preventing people from voting.

The other is by preventing worthy candidates
from ever appearing on the ballot.
