A Pennsylvania judge on Friday ruled that a Green Party candidate be removed from the ballot after the state party sued, alleging the hopeful was a “spoiler candidate to distract progressive voters.”

Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA), but voter records showed Tupone was registered as a Republican for years and regularly voted in GOP primaries before changing his registration.
