Independent presidential candidate Cornel West has taken a significant step in his campaign by submitting signatures to qualify for ballot access in Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state. The West campaign announced that it has successfully surpassed the required signature threshold in Pennsylvania, where independent presidential candidates must submit 5,000 valid signatures to qualify.
The Pennsylvania Department of State has confirmed that West's campaign submitted its petitions on Thursday, marking a milestone in his bid for ballot access in the state. This move is part of a broader strategy by West to secure ballot access in key battleground states, with a recent focus on Pennsylvania and Georgia. Last week, the campaign also submitted signatures in Georgia to qualify for the ballot.
Currently, West is already on the ballot in four states: South Carolina, Alaska, Oregon, and Colorado. By expanding his presence to Pennsylvania and potentially other battleground states, West aims to increase his visibility and appeal to voters across the country.
