HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania Democrats have won legal challenges keeping the left-wing Party for Socialism and Liberation off the battleground state's presidential ballot, at least for now, while a lawyer with deep Republican Party ties is working to help independent candidate Cornel West get on it.

The court cases are among a raft of partisan legal maneuvering around third-party candidates seeking to get on Pennsylvania’s ballot, including a pending challenge by Democrats to the filing in Pennsylvania by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

A Commonwealth Court judge agreed with two Democratic Party-aligned challenges on Tuesday, ruling that the paperwork filed by the Party for Socialism and Liberation was fatally flawed and ordering the party's presidential candidate, Claudia De la Cruz, off Pennsylvania's Nov. 5 ballot.

If RFK drops out and throws his support for Trump watch the RATs go to court to keep his name ON the ballot.

the paperwork lacked the required affidavits for 14 of the 19 presidential electors before the Aug. 1 filing deadline.

Let me guess: Democrats used the courts to delay, delay, delay until it was beyond the Aug. 1 deadline.
