Independent presidential candidate Cornel West submitted signatures on Thursday to qualify for ballot access in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state.

West’s campaign announced on Friday it “exceeded the required signature threshold” in Pennsylvania. Independent presidential candidates are required to submit 5,000 valid signatures to qualify in Pennsylvania.
