Democrats Lose Effort to Block Cornel West from Michigan Ballot

 For months, we have been discussing the concerted effort of Democrats to bar challengers to President Joe Biden from primary ballots and block third-party candidates like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Cornel West from appearing on the November ballots.

Now, a state judge has issued a stinging denial of the effort of Democratic officials to block West from the Michigan ballots.

West issued a statement: “Victory in Michigan!

As both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris insisted that “Democracy is on the ballot,” their allies sought to deny the ability of voters to cast their ballots for other candidates.

Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson helped lead the effort to prevent citizens from being able to vote for West in Michigan.

One does not have to support Trump, West, or the other third-party opponents to find this effort repulsive.

We brought thousands of voices to the table, and the court listened, rejecting the Democrats’ technical challenges.
