The opinion
Justice CASTILLE
concurring.
I agree that the Help America Vote Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 15301-15545 , preempts the referendum requirement in the Pennsylvania Election Code, Section 1102, 25 P.S. *509 § 3002, and therefore I concur in the result of the Majority Opinion.
Justice EAKIN and Justice BALDWIN join this opinion.
