>> 23,000 votes.
>> 
>> The court decided against hearing the challenge brought by David Strange,
>> an employee of the Democratic National Committee, who sought to oust Stein
>> from the ballot. The court did not explain its reasoning.
>> 
>> “We determine that the petitioner is not entitled to the relief he seeks,”
>> the court said in its unsigned order.
>> 
>> Strange argued that the Green Party can’t nominate presidential electors
>> in Wisconsin because the party does not have any state officeholders or
>> legislative candidates authorized to nominate presidential electors.
>> 
>> The Green Party and Republicans countered that the party met all of its
>> legal requirements and that Stein should be allowed to remain on the
>> ballot.
>> 
>> Stein praised the decision, saying the Green Party “beat back the DNC’s
>> attack.”
>> 
>> “Today justice prevailed,” she said in a statement.
>> 
>> Michael White, co-chair of the Wisconsin Green Party, called the complaint
>> a “mark of fear by the Democratic Party” and said the attention generated
>> by it had motivated Stein backers.
>> 
>> “It was an inevitable conclusion because the complaint had no merit to
>> begin with and we knew that,” he said.
>> 
>> Democratic National Committee spokesperson Adrienne Watson called the
>> decision “disappointing” and said the Green Party should not be on the
>> ballot.
>> 
>> Stein last appeared on the Wisconsin ballot 2016, when she won just over
>> 31,000 votes — more than Trump’s winning margin of just under 23,000
>> votes. Some Democrats have blamed her for helping Trump win the state and
>> the presidency that year.
>> 
>> Strange had challenged a Wisconsin Elections Commission decision in
>> February to grant the Green Party ballot access. The commission did so
>> because a candidate from the party won more than 1% of the vote in a
>> statewide race in 2022, meeting a requirement under the law. Sheryl
>> McFarland got nearly 1.6% of the vote while finishing last in a four-way
>> race for secretary of state.
>> 
>> The Wisconsin Elections Commission is scheduled to meet Tuesday to certify
>> which candidates can appear on the ballot. Democrats are also challenging
>> the placement of independent candidate Cornel West on the ballot. A
>> Republican National Committee employee is challenging independent Shiva
>> Ayyadurai’s candidacy.
>> 
>> The Wisconsin Supreme Court kept Green Party presidential candidate Howie
>> Hawkins off the ballot in 2020 after the elections commission deadlocked
>> on whether he filed proper nominating signatures.

>> 
> Joke is on them I believe, she will draw only commies/dems.

Last time fascists/repugs helped put Kanye on the ballot and they still 
lost the state.
