It’s so weird how the so-called ‘defenders of democracy’ really, really don’t want you to vote for anyone but them. And the lengths they’ll go to in order to stop opponents from appearing on the ballot. They tried it with Trump. They tried it with RFK, Jr.
And now they’re trying it with Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
There are swing states, and then there are swing states like Wisconsin, where about 20,000 votes — fewer than 1% — have decided four of the Dairy State’s last presidential elections.
Even a few thousand votes siphoned off by a third-party presidential candidate could determine which direction Wisconsin’s coveted 10 electoral votes will go.
David Strang, the state’s Democratic National Committee deputy operations director, filed a complaint Wednesday challenging the ballot access of Wisconsin Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who won more than 30,000 votes here in the 2016 presidential election.
The complaint alleges the Wisconsin Green Party, which qualified for ballot status in 2022 when a candidate garnered 1% of the state’s vote, does not have qualified electors to put forward and therefore runs afoul of Wisconsin election law.
Don’t ever let the Democratic Party tell you they care about democracy. They don’t.
This writer wouldn’t vote for Jill Stein. She is a Leftist loon. But she should be allowed on the Wisconsin ballot. Especially since Kamala Harris is on the ballot and she got zero primary votes this year.
