It's weird that Strange and the DNC would bring such a democracy-poisoning petition against a like-minded leftist political party, particularly when the Democratic Party's top leaders are in Chicago this week rallying around a "Freedom" message and asking "Americans to defend democracy one more time."
The Wisconsin Elections Commission, which has had its share of election integrity troubles, on a technicality denied a previous complaint from Democrats asserting the Green Party ticket couldn't appear on the November ballot because there are no Green Party members represented in state offices.
They cite statute laying out requirements for presidential electors, that they must be "[c]andidates for the senate and assembly nominated by each political party at the primary"; "The state officers" of each political party; and "The holdover state senators of each political party[.]". "It has long been clear that the Wisconsin Green Party had no affiliated individuals in the latter two categories eligible to nominate presidential electors," the petition states.
In 2020, a Wisconsin Democratic Party attorney notorious for lawfare attacks on Republicans challenged Green Party petitions for former Milwaukee native Angela Walker, running mate of the Greens' presidential candidate Howie Hawkins.
"The attorney for the Democratic challenger huddled with the Democratic chair of the Elections Commission to restrict the testimony of Green Party attorneys," Rubin, who died in 2022, wrote in a column headlined, "Democratic Party dirty tricks against the Greens," posted days after the disputed 20 election.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who shifted to an Independent in his presidential run last year after he felt betrayed by the party of his famous father, U.S. Sen. Bobby Kennedy, and uncle, President John F. Kennedy, has been dogged by a Democrat Party campaign to deny him access to state ballots.
Stein and the Green Party have gone through the same ballot battles, facing a massively funded Democratic Party machine bent on killing competition wherever it lurks.
