Local Ballot Challenges in State House Races
Although they have yet to make their appearance on the DOS webpage, Capitol Ideas reports that two local state house candidates are facing ballot challenges: Wanda Mercado-Arroyo (running for Doug Reichley's seat); and Leslie Altieri (running against Marcia Hahn).

I guess their jealous that Schlossberg got a get out of jail free card and don't want to take a chance in coming in 2nd...
if the challenger loses they should have to foot the bill for the costs of the challenge. bet that would cut out a bunch of BS.
@9:36 - only if the money would come directly out of their personal paycheck and not political contributions...
anon 9:51
Excellent point!!
Agree. Let's not have challengers. Incumbents are doing a fine job and shouldn't be challenged. Elections should be for life.
Bernie,
Candidate Wanda Mercado Arroyo has called the state.She was informed there is no challenge. Clearly there is some mix up.

That's interesting. I did not see one, but Micek reported it.
Scott, I just checked again. There is a challenge.
Typical that the state would be misinformed or be ignorant of their own information. Can't wait till they run our health care.

excellent point, Scottie. Doctors and private hospitals have never, to my knowledge, made a simple mistake!!!
In Allentown we are going to have a hoot of a primary. 131 - Each party has produced only 1 candidate. 132 - No Republican candidate in an open seat Amazing that the non-incumbetnt Democrat has no challengers 133 - Each Party has produced only 1 candidate. 135 - Each Party has produced only 1 candidate
P.S. - Allentown Democrats only have Obama to vote for in their preference poll. Rublicans may have more candidates but the race may be over before PA votes.
A hoot of an election.
I'll take the advice of my doctor over that of one I am assigned to by a government plan any day.
Don't be stupid.

Why is Marcia Hahn so afraid of Alteri? Can she not win on her record? Altieri had well over 400 sigs. Hahn's people must have looked very hard. Why?
