HARRISBURG — The Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania’s nominees for U.S. Senate and governor filed voter signatures Friday to get on November’s election ballot, helped by a federal court order in 2016 that substantially lowered signature requirements for minor-party candidates.

The party’s U.S. Senate nominee Dale Kerns and gubernatorial nominee Ken Krawchuk each said their campaigns filed more than twice the legal threshold of 5,000 signatures. Pennsylvania’s Department of State, which oversees elections in the state, confirmed the filings ahead of the deadline Wednesday.

Kerns would join two-term Democratic Sen. Bob Casey and Republican challenger Lou Barletta on the Nov. 6 ballot, while Krawchuk would join Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf and Republican challenger Scott Wagner.

Kerns, 34, is an electrical construction project manager. Krawchuk, 65, is a computer architecture consultant.
