Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno has kicked former Olympic track and field star Carl Lewis off the election ballot — again.

Guadagno, serving in her capacity as secretary of state, refused to certify Lewis as a candidate for state Senate, according to a letter to local county clerks filed in federal court today.

Her reason: a federal appeals court order to keep Lewis on the ballot while a case challenging his candidacy is considered by a judge only applied to the June Democratic primary — which Lewis won uncontested — and not the November general election.

“Although the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ordered Mr. Lewis name to appear on the primary ballot, that order was carefully circumscribed and limited only to the primary ballot — the sole issue before the Third Circuit at the time of its order,” Guadagno wrote.

Lewis attorney William Tambussi today called Guadagno’s decision “brazen” and said he would ask U.S. District Court Judge Noel Hillman to order him back on the ballot. A hearing is scheduled for Friday. “It just disregards everything that’s gone before her and before the voters,” he said.
