Actually, he might be thrown off the ballot because the signatures the staffer collected might not be valid (because she might not be allowed to circulate for Altmire due to residency requirements) but the title I chose grabs your attention.  Wink

Congressman Critz has challenged 942 of Altmire's 1,651 signatures. Altmire's camp withdrew over 300 suspect signatures. The aide in question submitted 385 signatures. If a judge rules that she does not actually reside in the district and, therefore, cannot circulate for her boss, the signatures she obtained would be thrown out and Altmire would be off the ballot pending an appeal.

A ruling is expected tomorrow - Monday, March 5th. Oh, the drama... Smiley

So who is Santorum going to be voting for on Tuesday?

No idea what the joke is here. Enlighten me.

I know that. My point is that Santorum won't be able to vote for himself, because he's not on the ballot there.

Weak reach at a residency joke.

Judge rules in Altmire's favor.
