Signature counting stops for Green Party Senate candidate in Pa.

HARRISBURG, Pa. -

Green Party U.S. Senate candidate Carl Romanelli has fallen about
9,000 signatures short of the number he needs to qualify for the Nov.
7 ballot, said lawyers for Romanelli and state Democrats who are suing
to have him thrown off the ballot on Friday.

A review of the signatures Romanelli gathered in his bid to compete
against Republican Sen. Rick Santorum and Democratic state Treasurer
Bob Casey was suspended Friday under a state judge's order issued
earlier in the week.

Romanelli, a railroad industry consultant from Wilkes-Barre, was
required to gather 67,070 signatures to qualify for statewide office
this year.

His candidacy is expected to help Santorum's chances for re-election
by drawing votes from Casey.

Casey's campaign and the state Democratic Party have accused Santorum
of engineering Romanelli's candidacy.

Santorum has openly supported Romanelli's candidacy and Republicans
helped bankroll his signature-gathering effort.
