Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court on Monday upheld a lower court ruling that rejected a bid to get independent presidential candidate Cornel West on the ballot for the November election in the battleground state.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday reversed a lower court's ruling from almost two weeks ago that had said the two most populous counties of the battleground state will not be able to throw out mail-in votes over incorrect envelope dates.

Academic and activist Cornel West, who is running for president as an independent candidate, won’t be on the ballot in Pennsylvania, the state Supreme Court decided Monday in upholding a lower court’s ruling.
