Where are you seeing that it was in Feb? The ballotpedia you linked to said it was August 1st for PA.
According to West’s complaint, he submitted nominating papers with 13,000 signatures this summer.
However, the department rejected those papers, finding that West didn’t have “candidate affidavits” for all 19 electors that he submitted.
According to the complaint, that process is required only in the event of a third-party candidate.
So if it wasn't for the "candidate affidavits" requirement he would have met the deadline. Basically he's rather reasonably asking that the court declare that requirement illegal since it's not equally applied, and then retroactively accept his papers.
It's a fair enough deal. I don't think it'd work as the reason it's not required for the two big parties - those would obviously be able to get electors w/o issue. More likely the judge will just rule that Dems and GOP have to comply with this rule too (which is trivial for them to do so) and keep West off.
In the link I provided, the state by state chart, Pennsylvania has 2 lines, one for the Democratic party, one for "other qualified parties", deadline date of February.
Thanks for the pointer, I see it now. Super helpful! Also worth calling out that the Dems had an earlier deadline that that still met easily so it's not a good showing if this independent couldn't get it in with a laxer deadline..
His check from Putin just cleared.
These people have to know they have literally 0 chance of winning. What possible fucking purpose could he legitimately have to have this need to be on the ballot?
I really don't want to be Mr.Conspiracy but here, but obvious spoiler is obvious...
Just because he's had Republican operatives helping organize and fund the campaign doesn't mean he's a spoiler. It's a really really really good indicator. But it isn't strictly conclusive. Just almost.
