There’s just over a month until the primary election and the ballot that voters will see in Warren County remains unsettled.

First it was the maps that were slowing down the process of preparing for the election.

Then, a nominating petition challenge.

Congressman Glenn Thompson is seeking re-election and there are no Democratic challengers, according to a Department of State candidate database.

But there was and still could be a challenger on the GOP side — George Rathmell from Punxsutawney.

Rathmell filed the paperwork to be on the ballot for the primary.

His nominating paperwork was challenged on March 22. At question were some 400 signatures.

That challenge was upheld Friday by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Warren County Director of Elections Krystle Ransom was notified Friday that the signatures were invalid or flawed.

That means Rathmell “is not on the ballot as of today,” Ransom said.

Still, that could change.

The candidate’s team has a five-day window to object, she said.

Thompson isn’t the only incumbent not challenged by the Democratic Party – State Rep. Kathy Rapp is unopposed on both sides of the ticket.

Outside of county and state party committee seats that will be settled during the primary, all of the remaining races are state-wide: Governor, lieutenant governor and U.S. Senate.

Current Attorney General Josh Shapiro is the sole Democrat seeking the nomination in the governor’s race while there are 10 Republicans seeking the GOP nod.

Nine Republicans and three Democrats are seeking the nomination for lieutenant governor.

That Senate race will bring equally cluttered ballots to county voters. It’s set to include seven Republicans – including Dr. Oz – and five Democrats, highlighted by Rep. Conor Lamb and Lt. Gov. John Fetterman.
