- The Supreme Ct of PA has affirmed in a per curiam order today the Commonwealth Ct decision removing Michael Huff from the ballot, based on a residency challenge. Votes for Huff, other than via write-in, will not count in the primary, so there's 10 candidates for 9 Phila CP slots and 5 for 3 MC.
- We are now 16 days pre-primary in Philadelphia and because of an ongoing candidate eligibility dispute, no mail-in ballots have been sent yet. The attorneys are doing their jobs faithfully, as are the City Commissioners, but this kind of delay suggests we need to rethink the whole timeline.

Commw Ct, on remand, applying that test and finding Huff lacking: phillyjudges.com/wp-content/u...
