Lingenfelter hires prominent attorney for ballot challenge

When Tom Lingenfelter goes to Harrisburg Thursday to defend his right to be on the 8th Congressional District ballot, he’ll have the help of veteran election lawyer Larry Otter.

Otter, a Bucks County attorney who has been involved in a plethora of ballot cases, is representing Lingenfelter.

“I know we should win,” Linenfelter told pa2010.com. “If the law is based on fairness and logic, we should win.”

Otter declined to comment on the case in detail. A Democrat, Otter has also made runs for local prothonotary, district attorney and judge.

Republican Mike Fitzpatrick, who stands to lose votes conservative votes if Lingenfelter is on the ballot, has voiced support for the challenge.
