HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) The Libertarian Party has won a round in the drawn-out challenge of its nominating papers in Pennsylvania, even as its presidential candidate prepares to visit the state. <\/p>\n
Gary Johnson, a former Republican governor of New Mexico, kicks off a national tour of college campuses Monday at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. The Libertarian Party standard-bearer plans to speak and answer questions from the audience. <\/p>\n
On Thursday, a three-judge panel of the state Commonwealth Court ruled 2-1 that signatures of about 9,000 voters are valid even though they listed addresses that do not match those in the statewide voter registry. <\/p>\n
Challengers backed by the Republican Party argued at a hearing this week that those signatures should be disqualified, which could have knocked Johnson off the statewide ballot.
