More Petition Challenges

There are more petition challenges. An article in the Intelligencer outlines some of those in suburban races. This paragraph struck me:

Patrick Murphy, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. 8th District congressional seat, which is held by Republican Michael Fitzpatrick, is being challenged by a Bensalem voter. Murphy's petition challenger is Jane Faust, a Democratic voter from Bensalem, according to Larry Otter, the attorney representing some Cleansweep candidates in the court actions. Otter confirmed that Faust is the same former Republican committeewoman convicted in 1996 of forging signatures and consequently barred from holding elected office.


I guess she know more about invalid signatures than most of the rest of us. I wonder why she would be picking this particular fight, though.

She was asked to. Most likely by another former republican.

FYI Larry Otter is a Warren partisan.

All I can say is that it must be getting very lonely in Warren-land if this is who he has carrying his water.
