The U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 31 rejected independent presidential candidate Cornel West’s request to require swing state Pennsylvania officials to advise voters they could write him in as a candidate.

A lower court in Pennsylvania removed his name from the Nov. 5 ballot after finding the paperwork in support of his candidacy was not in order. West’s appeals through the Pennsylvania court system were denied. He asked federal courts to intervene and they declined to do so.
