HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) Voters who sign a Pennsylvania political candidate s nominating petition have to list the address where they are registered to vote or it does not count, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
The decision overturns a 5-year-old precedent because of a more recent change in state law. The court had previously held that a petition signature could not be invalidated just because the voter s address did not match their voter registration address.
The ruling was made in a challenge to Rania Major s petition to run in the Democratic primary for judge in Philadelphia. The court upheld a decision to keep Major off the ballot.

PITTSBURGH – Due to a federal judge’s ruling on Tuesday, the state senator for Pennsylvania’s 45th District comprising parts of both Allegheny and Westmoreland counties will in fact be Democratic incumbent Jim Brewster.
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan
denied an attempt from the campaign of Republican state Senate challenger Nicole Ziccarelli to throw out mail-in ballots submitted in Allegheny County without a listed date, finding the 311 ballots in question were valid and properly counted toward Brewster’s victory.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania had first ruled Nov. 21 in its majority decision that the undated mail-in ballots that Ziccarelli challenged should be counted in the final vote totals, in her race against Brewster.

Mumia Abu-Jamal, the prison journalist long known as the “voice of the voiceless” for his compelling writings and short audio tapes, moved a step closer to getting a chance for a reconsideration of his earliest appeal of his conviction an allegedly flawed Post-Conviction Relief Act hearing in 1995 – as well as three other later PCRA appeals of aspects of his case, all ignored and their findings rejected by Pennsylvania’s appellate courts under spurious conditions.
The opening comes in the form of dismissal by the state’s Supreme Court of an attempt by Maureen Faulkner, widow of slain Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner, to use an obscure legal gambit, called a King’s Bench petition, to have DA Larry Krasner’s office removed as the legal entity defending against Abu-Jamal’s appeals. That effort, filed last February, had blocked any forward action on those appeals.
