Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Thursday rejected Cornel West’s ask for an emergency order requiring signs be posted at Pennsylvania polling places next week telling voters they can write in
Third-party presidential candidate Cornel West has lost a Supreme Court bid to be included on the presidential ballot in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.
Democrats are spending about $500,000 for a last-minute push to persuade voters in battleground states to reject third-party candidates Jill Stein and Cornel West.
Justice Samuel Alito on Thursday rejected a request from progressive activist Cornel West to direct Pennsylvania election officials to post notices informing voters at polling locations statewide on Election Day that West is a presidential candidate and his name can be written in on ballots.
Issue: Whether the Supreme Court should issue an injunction pending appeal directing the Pennsylvania Department of State to post information at all polling locations across Pennsylvania on Election Day to inform voters that they can write in Cornel West for president.
The three remote precincts are the only ones in Alaska in which neither Trump nor Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris have the lead in the presidential race. All but two precincts have reported at least some results as of Friday, with many more early and absentee ballots set to be tallied on Tuesday.
Cornel West, another candidate from the green camp, chose to run independently of the Green Party. The 71-year-old academic and anti-racism activist who calls Biden a "war criminal" and describes Trump as a "neofascist" will be on the ballot in nearly a dozen states. He too will siphon a tiny, but potentially painful number of votes from Harris.
