Court Rules Jill Stein Can Be on Wisconsin Ballot

The Kamala Harris campaign was dealt yet another blow by a third-party candidate.

The Supreme Court declined to hear the challenges to her candidacy in Wisconsin.

Therefore, Jill Stein will be on the ballot, taking a little chunk out of Harris’ support.

Defeated Again

In most elections, these third-party candidates are never fought, but this will be a close election, and the third-party candidates remaining will take more from Harris than they do Trump, at least for now.

So, Democrat activist groups and local party bosses are fighting against third-party eligibility.

Harris is winning in Wisconsin now, actually fairly handily, but that could change with more candidates on the ballot.

The order, which was signed on Monday, has cleared the way for Stein to appear on the ballot.

After the decision was announced, Pete Karas, an elections chair for the Wisconsin Green Party, called out Democrats for trying to have Stein removed.

He stated, “I don’t think the Democrats should have brought this forward in the first place.

“They were really disenfranchising voters from voting who they felt they wanted to be president and voting their conscience.”

Adrienne Watson, a DNC spokesperson, was clearly upset over the ruling, stating, “The Wisconsin Green Party’s violation of the law is crystal clear.

“WGP did not meet either of Wisconsin’s two simple requirements to nominate candidates, so it should not be on the ballot in November.”

The last time Stein was on the ballot, she got roughly 31,000 votes, a number that is well within the 21,000 votes that Biden took Wisconsin by in 2020.

To that point, the Wisconsin GOP was not upset with the ruling at all, stating, “For years, Democrats have silenced and disenfranchised Wisconsin voters by removing inconvenient candidates from the ballot.

“This time around, their undemocratic schemes have failed. If Democrats hope to win over voters, they will have to do so through earnest persuasion instead of disqualification.”

The big threat for Republicans was the Kennedy campaign, but he has since withdrawn and endorsed Trump, so it should be fairly clear sailing for Trump regarding third-party candidates now.

Cornel West is also running, but he is also facing ballot challenges in several states, including Pennsylvania and Michigan, two Blue Wall states that will likely dictate the outcome of this election.
