More than a dozen third-party candidates for president, U.S. Senate and three statewide offices have filed paperwork to get on November’s general election ballot in Pennsylvania. The deadline to file was Thursday at 5 p.m. Pennsylvania is expected to have a decisive role in the Nov. 5 presidential election.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — More than a dozen third-party candidates for president, U.S. Senate and three statewide offices filed paperwork ahead of Thursday’s deadline to get on November’s general election ballot in Pennsylvania , raising the possibility that they could play spoiler in high-stakes and close races in the battleground state.
With its 19 electoral votes, Pennsylvania is a top-tier prize that has swung between the parties in the last two presidential elections. Both were closely contested: In 2016, Trump won Pennsylvania by 44,000 votes over Democrat Hillary Clinton, and four years later Democrat Joe Biden beat Trump by 81,000 votes.
For the open attorney general’s office, Democrat Eugene DePasquale and Republican Dave Sunday are the major party nominees. Third-party candidates filing by Thursday’s deadline were Robert Cowburn of the Libertarian Party, Richard Weiss of the Green Party, Eric Settle of the Forward Party and Justin Magill of the Constitution Party.
