From Inquirer reporter Joseph A. Gambardello:
The state Supreme Court today denied state senate candidate John Dougherty’s bid to get challenger Larry Farnese’s name taken off the ballot.
Commonwealth Court Judge Rochelle Friedman initially denied Dougherty’s petition on March 7 and the higher court upheld her order today.
The Supreme Court said it would issue an opinion later.
